Bali is beautiful as always. Enjoying Ubud’s cooler weather and clear sunshine. Got in a motorcycle accident. I’m ok (pretty much). Bike isn’t. Guess I’ll be wearin out my sandals. Will write soon.Read more

Ironically, I work with computers all day and yet don’t even have access to the web from my house. I’m like the ass-cracked plumber who’s own basement is flooded. This is the primary reasonRead more
