Sitting in portland

Waiting for a plane. I think I finally decided what I am going to be when I grow up. I have amassed 19000 photos so it would seem I like photography and I am awestruck by all of the beauty that this world has to offer. I seem to be a bit footloose. I am going to apply myself to nature and travel photography. To that end I will be getting serious about the art.

Back from vermont and packing for my next adventure

It was really great traveling in the country and visiting my good friends Mike John and Dee, up in Pownal Vt, They were kind enough to let me park my RV at their storage facility and I may get their 5th wheel House on Wheels. It is spacious and I could disconnect the truck from the 5th wheel and use it to do chores. Well off to pack now and here are a few pictures fr your pleasure.

Time is slipping

As I get closer to the date when I will leave NYC and start my journey back to Thailand, I find myself a little out of sorts, too early to pack and anxious to leave, I will be visiting Bend Oregon and my friends Jack and Grace and Pahoa Hawaii to see my Jenny and this will take three weeks, I really miss my friends, having two homes half a world apart is a different experience than I have had in most of my life. I feel as though my time in NYC has past yet I am still holding on to my apartment until it is decided what path we will take in the next incantation of our coop existence and I can move on. I dream of traveling the west coast's beautiful regions and taking my time in getting to know places that I skimmed through, much like a book, where you can savor and just nestle into the peace and beauty. Well I am going to get going early this morning and try to find some sunshine and mountains to hike a little, unfortunately it will be wet wherever I do. Maybe I will just stop in Woodstock and Marysville and take the slow route up to Vermont. If I get to Adams Mass by 4 I can partake in a charity spaghetti dinner, Yum.......

Wearing and seeing Red

I went down with my Union to pay a visit to Wall Street and ask them why they aren't in jail, well they are too big to jail or fail and the only thing that you can do with them is bail. The arrogance and audacity is almost pungent on the street. The cops worship them but we are the ones who pay for the services of the police, the corporations and banks have armies of accountants to avoid paying their share of the bill.

Back on track

Well the computer is back from the shop and I have been busy getting ready for my next trip. which will be Bend, Oregon> Pahoa, Hawaii> Chiang Mai,Thailand. My feelings toward New York are mixed, I have had fun here but feel a bit confined, the picture of the young couple in tux and bridal gown with bouquet on the bench beside the bride looking at the first picture of their new life together was my best of the day. I will try to crop it and put it in my next blog. I will be taking a trip next week to put the Wandermobile away for the year and do some hiking in the catskills. I will be posting pictures along the way and working on refining this blogging game, I have plenty of books to read and it should be fun.
