Happy 2019! Time keeps marching on and one day bleeds into the next, though I find the end of the year calls for pause and reflection on what the heck happened over the last year and contemplation regarding what one hopes the next year might bring. I’m not much of a goal setter, if I …
Long time, no see! I’m slacking here, I know. We are quickly approaching our six-month mark in Scotland and I can honestly say we’re not quite where I though we’d be by this point; however, all in all things have been pretty alright, more on that later (likely in my New Year's post). Thanksgiving was …
I've dropped the ball a bit on posting weekly as I had intended. I’ve lacked some motivation lately, as I was sick for a little while and am now working on becoming a functioning human being again. I managed to catch the flu for the first time in… I don’t even remember when I last …
Before we moved to Scotland I had older people tell me that they wanted to do something similar when they were younger and just never did, and younger people would tell me they wished they could do what we were doing but they’re just too tied down with their current obligations.

Back to a most random post. I’m on my third round of watching Still Game seasons 7 and 8, and my 900th round of watching seasons 1 through 6. I love that show more than I can express. If you haven’t watched it then what the hell are you waiting for? Get to it! That …
It’s hard to believe that we have been here three months. We have crammed a lot into those three months. If I think about it, it actually feels like we’ve been here longer. It’s been such a journey, it doesn’t seem possible that all of this stuff has occurred in the time frame of only …
Over the last few months the topic of “regret” has come up a few times on different FB groups I’m in and it’s generally someone who’s getting ready to move here or is seriously considering the move and is wondering if any expats in the group have regretted the move. This is a very real …
