After a welcome break in the UK visiting Phil’s family, we started heading south once again. I had just had a small carpal tunnel surgery on my hand so was sworn off sport for a month – a good time to hunker down for holidays and spend a couple of weeks driving to warmer temperatures. […]
The Sub Par Golfer Goes South
Mo’ Miles, Mo’ Problems
Being broken into was a major downer. Someone had been in our space and took what they wanted, which happened to be our stuff. Little did we know it was just the start of a long-winded, day-in-day-out litany of problems. We were meant to go on a big ol’ mountain bike ride with our friends Dan […]
