Saturday Morning Post: In lieu of flowers

I read this in an obituary recently: In lieu of flowers or cards, Jim would want you to write a card or letter to someone that is special to you. Dear Travel Penguin Blog Readers, I never met Jim, kinda wish I had. He lived near where I was born and raised, I often check obits there, people around my age are often people I crossed paths with when I was growing up. Those 20-30 years older are often the parents of people I grew up with. Sadly sometimes the younger ones are the children of my classmates. You are special to me. I know a handful of you. I wake up everyday looking forward to interacting in the comments. The statistics tell me there are many more that read, than I have never seen a comment from. I write for everyone of you. My sincere hope is that a photo I have posted, or a phrase I have crafted, makes your day a little better. I hope through these photos and words I am able to express that life will be okay. It has ups and downs, we persevere and focus on the

The Sunday Five - Books

J.P Morgan had a spectacular private library, which raised questions for me, all of the inspriration I need for this weeks Sunday five. 1: Are there books you have multiple copies or editions of? 2: Have you ever stood in line to buy a first edition on the day it was released? 3: Do you buy books just to own them, or only to read them? 4: Have you read 90% or more of the books you own? 5: Do you have an active library card? My Answers: 1: Are there books you have multiple copies or editions of? No longer, I did at one time, but we have downsized. 2: Have you ever stood in line to buy a first edition on the day it was released? Yes, Harry Potter books. 3: Do you buy books just to own them, or only to read them? Almost always to read. 4: Have you read 90% or more of the books you own? Yes. Probably more than 95%. 5: Do you have an active library card? No, I should do something about that. Please share your answers in the comments.

Thursday Ramble - End of April Edition

I am working on a post that will appear in a couple of weeks of things that piss me off. This week added a couple of things to the list. We succeeded at ordering appliances for the kitchen replacement. With luck the cabinets should be ordered in the next week or so. Appliances are still in short supply, the total sorcery cooktop we wanted is delayed at least 6 months, and the cooktop is an essential to the job. We found a slightly less magic model in stock, it will be delivered this week. The appliance dude didn't seem very enthused about what I thought was a rather large order. When we went into pay, there was an invoice laying on the counter, the first item was a refrigerator, I had to look twice, I didn't believe my eyes, the first item was a $10,000 refrigerator, makes my order look insignificant. Still I have bought new cars for less. The world here has turned green, the last of the trees are starting to leaf out (the one outside my bedroom window.) We had a nice d
