    Thank you River. Almost a mirror image of Callum’s celebration pose!

      Although Callum dreamed I was his football coach, I think it’s pretty clear he is mine!

Find My Way

March 13/April 2. The sun has come out, plum trees are starting to bloom in Eastsound, I leave for Scotland in exactly 3 weeks, and I am feeling glum.  Four weeks ago, while slightly increasing my walking so I would be ready for a couple of 22 mile days during my three week walk in Scotland (West Highland Way, Great Glen Way, and Speyside Way), I started to notice discomfort in my left upper foot. I tried to do imagined massage and energy work as I walked, which often clears up small aches and pains almost miraculously. This particular pain came and went, but over the next week it gradually worsened. I noticed it was throwing off my gait and that it was no longer a good idea to rely on my own healing efforts or to ignore it.  I called out the healers - made appointments with Rick Doty for body work, the Bradbury's for chiropractic care and acupuncture, Dr. Cindy Bullock for podiatry, and I drove to Everett to Althea's footwear (a podiatrist-recommended specialty shoe store for...

Glasgow Weekend - April 30 - part 1

Sunday April 30.     Glasgow.   Greetings, fellow wayfarers. Here I am on the airplane on my way to Heraklion, Crete. Sister Judy is also in the air in her long journey from Shell Beach CA to Los Ángeles to Newark to Athens to Heraklion. Chris is also in the air, having left Orcas yesterday for the ferry ride to the mainland, then the drive to Seattle. She got to the airport at 4am for an early morning departure this morning. I believe she and Judy will meet up in Newark, then fly the rest of the way together (I think they even managed to get seats together).  I will arrive Heraklion at 10:30pm tonight (8:30pm in Scotland - the time zone I’ve grown accustomed to in the past month). I will stay at a hotel near the airport then join them when they arrive Heraklion (2:30pm tomorrow).  We will meet up with the car rental driver from Frangokastello (on the southwest coast of Crete) who will drive us to Fata Morgana apartments where we will spend the next two weeks so...

Glasgow Weekend - Friday April 28 - part 1

Friday, April 28. It’s Friday afternoon and I’ve had a lovely day in Glasgow after arriving yesterday afternoon. One of the loveliest parts has been writing my blog. The worst part is that the post, which was essentially finished, just disappeared. Gone. The app I use does this from time to time. Magically makes my posts disappear and I have to start all over again. It has definitely happened before but never when I’d written so much. So let’s see if I can write it again - my personal challenge is to enjoy writing it as much as I did the first time.  So let’s start with Katie and Natalie, two young women Chris and I met in Venice for about 10 minutes last spring and with whom we’ve exchanged texts several times since (which hadn’t mentioned that they have two kids - so I have the unexpected joy of meeting Kallum 8 and Lydia 10). Katie’s their birth mom but Natalie’s been co-parenting for over 5 years. The kids were at their weekly overnight with Katie’s mum Thursday so I didn’t me...
