Cross Referencing a Cross Reference

-

J and I just finished watching Better Call Saul and if you’ve not seen it yet, but are a fan of Breaking Bad trust us and do yourself a favor and watch it.  On Netflix.  You can thank me when you watch it and get up to speed.  The final 13 episodes release to AMC in April and July (6 ep and 7 ep split) and then August and September on Netflix…. I think.  


That’s not the point, though.  The point is that we were just hanging out and talking.  J said something that really rung with me.


“If I’m never going to be comfortable anywhere, I might as well be uncomfortable everywhere.  What I mean is, I’m always going to miss something, so why not experience everything.”


To that, since we will always miss something somewhere, why not just experience everywhere.  We’ll always miss Wilson’s coffee or want Mike N Angleo’s Pizza.  La Brisas Tacos.  Beach or Mountain Access.  The SLO life.  A lot of things.  We will always miss or want something.  I want a salad from a little place we used to go to in Oceanside.  So, we might as well see and experience the globe.  


I thought that was a well put way to say it.

As for things well said, I saw a tweet or retweet this week.  An 18 year old can’t drink.  Can’t smoke.  Can’t even rent a car.  However, we will force them to make a life and career decision and take out tens if not hundred of thousands of dollars in loans that they can’t discharge in bankruptcy or death.  We have literally created another salve class and we won’t pay them a living wage.


However, some people are upset that a 13 year old can request their own vaccinations and take care of their own health.


Again, maybe if we spent time working on what we CAN do and not telling other people what they CAN’T do, maybe we’d be better off.  Maybe if we thought about things and took in all sides of the problem instead of the entitled white point of view, we could get somewhere.

In happier news, we are free from our isolation and quarantine and to celebrate, someone needed watermelon nails.  BEAUTY!





Also, living her best waffle life.  Or, making faces while eating waffles.  Either way.  HAHA







A morning outside sit to say good morning to Bangkok.




Cuddling Dada and acting goofy.




Cross referenced books.








Have a great weekend, everyone.  Thoughts and hope to the people of Ukraine.

Working on setting this up and making it more to our liking and style.  I wanted to get something up, just so we have a placeholder and a little welcome to anyone coming over and wondering if this is really A, J, or the Kiddo. Also, it gives me a chance to try putting some media up as well.  Pics AND Videos???  Can it really be???? Cheers fro now and we'll be back to write more later.  Have a great day and thanks for poking us here to see that we are all still ok.

On being brave

I was laying in bed the other night and I was just awake and thinking.  I was thinking, specifically, about Kiddo and how brave she is in a lot of ways.  Moving across the world with J and I (not that she had much choice) was brave.  Quarantine.  Going to a school with mostly Thai kids.  Making friends.  Losing her tooth.  All of it.  She is so brave.   Even her attitude.  That want to see more of the world and to explore it.  Her willingness to go to markets with J and myself and eat bugs.  Last summer in Vietnam and just trying pho or banh mi while we walked down a street.  Getting lost with J in the rain in HCMC and having that adventure.  Her excitement to travel 30,000 miles this summer.  Her excitement for Shanghai and wondering how it will be different, better/worse, and what kind of ‘interesting and fun things to do” once we get there.   As I lay in the dark being a proud papa, I couldn’t help b...

A weekend in the life of Kiddo

We have our LA and SF trips set.  We are going to find some time this week to plan and set the Wisco trip and then the Mexico trip, but one step at a time.  J is looking at properties in MX for us and we will book that all soon.  Then, it’s just tying up life here, selling off our stuff, packing and getting ready to move and then it’s just airplanes, airports, and adventures. It’s not all busy work though.  We are still having some fun.   J needed to go to school on Saturday to drop off some of Kiddo’s stuff that she is repurposing to her classroom.  Puzzles and books that Kiddo aged out of and what better place than a Kindergarten classroom.  Perfect solution and better than trudging them into town and getting next to nothing selling them for credit only to acquire more books to drag around the world.  New books can wait for Shanghai, if at all, because J and I are on Kindles and Kiddo is mainly on the iPad and Epic for her books.  The l...
