Continue reading →: Spring of Loss, Summer of BabesOops, I did it again. Right after my last post, it became increasingly obvious that our cat Bowie was ready to head on over to another plane of existence. Euthanizing a pet here on Crete is an experience.

Continue reading →: Albania: Big money, no whammiesI know you’ve all been practically dying to hear about my trip to Albania. I’ve been wanting to tell you all about it, but I have been practically dying since I got home. I had maybe 36 good hours before a neck injury I stupidly gave myself on Friday made…
