Well hello there Phase 1. We are officially allowed to hang out with people from one other household at a time outside (socially distanced of course). On Tuesday I’ll be hanging out with a friend for the first time in two and a half months. I’m looking forward to that. In looking at the numbers, …
I’m doing things a little differently for this post, possibly the next few posts. I didn’t do entries for each day, though I’m glad I didn’t since this post is quite long already. Below is just a collection of thoughts and experiences over this last week. I hope you, the reader, are staying safe. I …
Have I mentioned before how some things just aren’t as easy here as they are in the US? Oh yeah, that’s right, only about a million times. While I find customer service to be friendly when it comes to the boring but necessary stuff (wifi, gas/electric, phone, rent, etc.) it is horribly inefficient, if not …

Another summer has come and gone. Autumn came on much more suddenly than I recall from last year. It’s nice in many ways. The light and the air shift in such a way that things feel a little more magical and cozier which means it’s time for warm clothing, dog pjs, blankets and comfort food. …
It’s so hard to believe we’ve been here seven months already. In some ways it feels like we’ve been here so much longer because of all that has happened in that short period of time, and in some ways it feels impossible that we’ve already been here this long. Every time I head south of …

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 …
This is a post I have been wanting to pull together for a while now, but how in the world do I cover all of the differences between Scotland and the U.S. in this post? I don’t. Seriously, I just can’t, but what I can do is throw out at least a few of the …

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 …
