Hi there,
Sorry I have not posted anything for a while but life just gets busy when you are retired.
I am now sitting a crowded garage office we still have in Aromas. It is cold and raining out and I have been here for over a week working on two sets of income taxes and also at the Authority (for a few bucks). I called my son Tyler on this birthday on the 2nd and did not reach him. That always leaves a vacant feeling....oh well.
The campsite of a trailer and two sheds we made on the property works well but it seems I am always schlepping something up or down the hill to the office. In real camping I would be schlepping firewood and water but here it is laptops, briefcases and water.
Of course people here ask me how I like living in Panama, what is it like and lots of other questions. And sitting in this garage it seems like a long ways away right now and except for my images of Linda and our house and dogs it is a little fuzzy. Guess that’s because I am cold and lonely here. I really look forward to the daily Skype calls with Linda. Now we can fight long distance and actually see each other! But that is who we are.
I am almost to the end of the income tax stuff for both us and mom. Of course that just means I am done and give it to the respective “bookies” to gin up the results. Then a week of working and packing and back to Latitude 8 on March 15th, The Ides of March. This working takes a lot of time.

But that is not where I started on this episode so here is the fun stuff.
A few weeks ago Linda and I took a very short road trip with surf friend Obie and her two kids to a surf spot about 160 miles from home. The destination was Quanico, a crescent bay on a road not shown on any maps. The road ends at the beach were there is a single restaurant and two rooms for rent. And the only communication is the pay phone at the restaurant. But the rooms have satellite TV and AC.
Linda and Obie surfed their hearts out (witness the pic) and the kids played. Down the beach about ½ mile is a compound built by two young Brits, Russell and Laura. It is truly a work of art with wonderful craftsmanship and a warm feeling. The two pics are of the main house and the outdoor shower.
