It was definitely an interesting week here on Isla. Of course, I suspect this is the kind of place where every week has some sort of strange goings-on. Not to hack an over-used, crystal-rubber term… but a convergence zone where the odd and sublime are every day occurences. In our case, the oddity took the form of a power outage. Diane and I were

Diane and I rented a golf cart today to get our bearings on the island. Somehow, 4.3 miles seems a lot bigger when you are actually traveling it in a golf cart (though I venture to say I could ride the island, from stem to stern, on a bicycle in about 30 – 45 minutes).

The next time will be

Hopped on the early flight, to get in before it is too late… sat next to a guy who swore that Mexico was dangerous. Fascinating. I sat and listened to his twisted logic explaining

Bored in Bisbee The little corner of the world that is Bisbee can be a great place, if you are invested in being here. Having spent the last 5+ years in constant motion, Diane and I are just restless to get out. The “sameness” has begun to creep into our lives in its insidious ways. Saturday night brings the two of
