I watched some of the Grammies, and listened to more with my eyes closed while lying in bed. Like many of those people visiting Edmonton who found apartments for rent in Edmonton. It sounded to me like lyrics that tell a story set to music are back in vogue. I want to be a lyricist. I wish there was a site where musicians would post their music and invite lyrics to be written and submitted. I’m sure there could be some terms and conditions that could be posted on the site so that the song... Read Full Story

Unasked question: “So now that your retired in Costa Rica, what do you do all day?” True, not one person has asked me that question. So here’s my answer: I mostly work on THE DAMN POOL. aka (TDP) See that crystal clear water? That’s the only time it’s looked that way in the seven months we’ve lived here. When I moved in July, the pool had not been uncovered for months. The water was cloudy, but not green with algae. Knowing that I wouldn’t be swimming during while we “got settled... Read Full Story

In Costa Rica motor vehicles are required to be inspected on a regular basis. It’s called the Revision Tecnica Vehicular or RTV or Retieve . I did it today. And the car passed. HOO-HA. When we bought Bessie the Beater, it had been through one (and probably many) inspections. As seen by the sticker on the windshield, the current RTV was good through the end of the month of February, 2012. Because I was unsure of my success in getting Bessie the Beater through RTV without some major... Read Full Story

Michelle at SeerInteractive.com sent me some money today. I like Michelle – - –  but not only because she sends me money. I like that Michelle has a great sense of humor. That’s Michelle.  Actually, I guess Michelle’s Mom has the great sense of humor. The screen grab is from SeerInteractive’s Meet The Team page . Normally a “Meet The Team” page is really lame. First, there is the whole “Meet the Team” idea. Blech, that is so 70s. Second, most pages feature mug shots that are like high... Read Full Story

Before you get all snarky, this is the “after” shot! You should have seen my Costa Rica feet before I used a pedicure exfoliator aka scrubby thing on them. I love going barefoot. Always have.  You can count on one foot the number of times I have worn real shoes since we moved. If I’m not barefoot, I wear flip-flops. If I don’t have on flip-flops I wear sandals. If I don’t wear sandals, I have on pull-on shoes. My feet have taken a real beating. I got callouses on my  callouses. And since... Read Full Story

A person asked me recently if I was “handy.” I about spit out my oatmeal. I said I was not. I bet you are analytical, she said. How could I not agree? Ole analytical me. I never was considered handy Could barely unwrap candy. If it was a task considered critical, I would stand back and be analytical, And question the modus operandi. Handy has never been one of my strong points. Just yesterday, I put together some cheapo shelves which required screwing one leg into another... Read Full Story

January 20, 2011 we landed in Costa Rica for the first time. And now we live here permanently and are on our way to becoming residents. Here’s the timetable: January 20, 2011 we arrived. January 22, 2011 we took TheRealCostaRica.com tour. Sometime in March Nancy and a friend returned for a week to look at homes. They found one and made an offer which was accepted. We listed our home in Bowling Green, Kentucky with a real estate agent. April 2011, I came down to make the... Read Full Story
