You Must See Comedian Hannah Gadsby’s Show: Nanette

I generally do not enjoy standup comedy. You see, I typically find the jokes a bit (or very) offensive1 or just not really funny. Often, the jokes are just low level humor. But, occasionally, I’ll hear a joke that’s actually hysterical. Netflix has been hosting a series of comedy specials. I’ve watched a few with mixed results. But the last… Continue reading

Greece/Denmark: Day Five — Exploring Santorini 3

This morning was a leisurely, hang-around-the-room morning to just chill out, nap, write post cards, enjoy the cool breeze from the Aegean Sea and soak in the view of the amazingly beautiful caldera.

An old vintage… Continue reading

Australia: Day 2 — Tasmania

Tasmania is without doubt one of the world’s best kept secrets, and frankly, I want to keep it that way. Unspoiled. Undeveloped. Pristine. Gorgeous. In many ways this country reminds me of Norway with it expansive coast lines, rolling hills, and untouched beauty. Their use of the English language has some great twists: Grass Slashed (cutting the grass), Caution When… Continue reading
