Weekend in Honduras

We took off Friday afternoon dragging our buddy Mariah from St. Albert with us so we could get to Ruinas Copán, Honduras in time for supper. Stopped and had licuados (smoothies) in El Rancho. We got another stamp in our passports (the last possibly for mine as I’ll be getting a new one in December). … [Read more…]
Steaming Horse

Amber pointed out the horse outside our house early one morning. This is how cold it is inside of our house. I’m not trying to have a cold competition with my Canadian friends who are always quick to point out the -84°C weather they are experiencing. Perfectly clear. Understood. But how many of you have … [Read more…]
Chocolate Mint of Anguish
Mariah was kind enough to share one of her chocolate mints with me this morning. It was perhaps the most foul thing that has gone into my mouth. I howled and spat and sputtered and winced and shuddered. Think cat poop and antifreeze (no, I haven’t tasted either, but free your imagination). Mariah ate two … [Read more…]

The most painful feelings from this have subsided mostly, though everytime someone else we know get robbed, the wound reopens a bit. There has been an incredible miracle that followed the theft … [Read more…]
Elixir

My nose started to run last night, so I decided to smash it behind the knees with this potent cocktail: +3 Cold-fx capsules (600mg of CVT-E002) (or N.A. ginseng)+5 drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract (here a sham or there the world’s most useful product)+1 capsule Garlic Oil (3 mg)+5 drops of Oil of Oregano under … [Read more…]
All blades of grass
There is a dog, split in two, stretched across one lane. I answer the door in my pajamas at 7 A.M. to a man wanting to know why I needed to see his son. The bank teller still asks me how my film is coming. I eat 4 meals. My 2 o’clock appointment with Oscar … [Read more…]
