NCL3 Day 6: George Town, Grand Cayman
Marlene continues to have a fever and her leg continues to swell. The fever is less – around 101 – but the leg swelling and pain is worse. We discussed the option of going to the infirmary, but she declined. I didn’t argue because while her condition is cause for concern, I doubt that much … Continue reading
ATW-2 Day 28: Rome, Italy
Our last day in Rome was spent touring the Colosseum and the Roman Forum – the surprisingly large area of ruins surrounding it. We had breakfast in our hotel room, then walked 10 minutes to the Colosseum. The proximity to the Colosseum was one of the main reasons I selected this hotel. We arrived just … Continue reading

Drag bingo at home
If you have been paying attention, you will remember that I attended a drag bingo event last May. On that occasion I won. Last week my home resort hosted a drag bingo event. I didn’t win this time, but the cost was minimal: $10. And while it was not as raucous as the first event, … Continue reading
Hand, Knee and Foot in my future
A few days ago I learned that Marlene plays Hand, Knee and Foot regularly. As you may recall, Jett and I played this game frequently (with frequent losses by me). I miss both Jett and the game. While Jett is gone forever, it appears that the game is not. I am looking forward to getting … Continue reading
Drag queen bingo
Yes, “drag queen bingo” is a real thing, at least in Ft Myers. It is a popular dinner show option. Ooma and I went to Drag Queen Bingo night at The Standard restaurant, had a good meal and an evening of bingo and raunchy fun. I was the big winner, too, winning both the first … Continue reading
Still puzzling
Since leaving Florida – and pretty much while there all winter – the only jigsaw puzzles that I have done were the computer ones. These are 300 pieces with all the pieces correctly oriented. They are fun, but they are a shadow of a real jigsaw puzzle of 500 pieces or more. So in addition … Continue reading
Hand, knee and foot scoresheet
Trying something I have never tried before – attaching a PDF. This is the scoresheet we use for playing Hand, Knee and Foot. Jett designed it and I think she did an outstanding job. We have played hundreds of games and have never once found a reason to update the scoresheet. It is designed for … Continue reading
