For we in the northern hemisphere, spring is the air – so flowers are plants are showing signs of life and flowers have burst forth for the underground bulb from it’s winter sleep. Although I didn’t sleep in the winter, I have been on blog break since late March – so hey – this post has nothing to do with flowers – but just an analogy marking my return to posting.

Because I had a Pause Button, it’s time to restart. I usually use this after a break, but I couldn’t resist the opening bloom analogy.
I did take some time during break to continuing editing the future beach walks that is, the ones I wrote this past winter. They are far enough along to restart the series soon.
Spring also means the time to ramp up golf season. I’m behind on my pre-season routine, but that’s OK because I’m not a fanatic. I simple enjoy playing the game.
News from the Mueller Report came forth shortly after starting the blog break. I considered having a special post, but decided it was not worth my time and effort. After all, it seems the report has gone like I anticipated – and the party faithful on both sides of the aisle are demonstrating predictable behavior that favors a party-first mantra over what is best for the country. Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani continues to demonstrate that Disney would never hire him because he beyond goofy.
Washington is so messed up, I’m not convinced the Founding Fathers could help. Then again, that would be interesting to hear their take.
Sometimes I take blog breaks because of travel plans – but not always. After all, a blog break within one’s normal routine is also important. Then again, I’ve been gone long enough that both are possible. OK – I’ll spill the beans. We cruised from San Diego to Miami on Oceania Cruise Line’s Regatta.
Here are a few thoughts about the ports
- San Diego – A beautiful city
- Mexico (Cabo San Lucas & Acapulco) – Overrated
- Guatemala (Puerto Quetzal) – Antigua is a special place
- Nicaragua (Corinto) – Second poorest country in the America’s (behind Haiti)
- Costa Rica (Puntarenas) – Pick you eco-tour
- Panama Canal (cruising) – An engineering marvel
- Cartagena (Columbia) – Beautiful Old City, vendors abundant and bothersome
- Havana (Cuba) – Unquestionably my favorite stop
To help reset the Start button, here’s a song that we heard a lot on the cruise.
