Since I complained about the master bath being in disrepair last week should mention that it was finished up over the weekend and looks great. The current timeline for the move looks something like this: Garage/moving sale – Oct. 9 (our 16th anniversary!) and Oct. 10 House listing – Oct. 13 Until then a lotContinue reading “A finished bathroom”

A jackpot and a lesson
An interaction I had Thursday night with a Trump supporter I think is the perfect encapsulation of the issues we face as a nation even if Joe Biden wins the election and Trumpism is temporarily turned back. In short, they have no respect for laws, no respect for rules, no respect for authority, no respectContinue reading “A jackpot and a lesson”
Vacation, all I ever wanted…
If you haven’t seen the new Go-Gos documentary on Showtime rectify that ASAP. Anyway we only had a small window to get out of town for a few days and used the opportunity to get to Carlsbad for a few days but tomorrow it’s back to Vegas and chaos. For now, it’s a preview ofContinue reading “Vacation, all I ever wanted…”
Chaos
Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with politics. But it does describe the state of our house right now. In addition to trying to go through our belongings and throw away what we no longer need and getting ready to sell what we can at a garage sale three weeks from now,Continue reading “Chaos”
The end game for start of dismantling American democracy is now clear
Ruth Bader Ginsberg, one of the most stalwart and brave defenders of human rights in American history, has died at the age of 87 after a heroic battle against cancer. Unfortunately, that sets up a Constitutional crisis that will spell the final hope of the Republican Party repudiating fascism once and for all. Place yourContinue reading “The end game for start of dismantling American democracy is now clear”
Why we’re leaving, spelled out
This is going to be a hard article to write. I’ve started it about 20 different ways, but maybe I should just start it with that. I’ve tried to put a happy face on it, but the truth is — I don’t want to leave the United States, at least not yet. My clear firstContinue reading “Why we’re leaving, spelled out”
Happy Mexican Independence Day!
Kind of bittersweet since this is one of my favorite weekends of the year in Las Vegas. There’s always a big prizefight on the Strip, usually involving a Mexican boxer, so the town is full of Mexicans celebrating a long weekend. Another casualty of COVID I guess. Looking forward to being in Mexico next yearContinue reading “Happy Mexican Independence Day!”
In case you were wondering…
Since we’ve announced to our friends and family we’re pulling up stakes and moving to Mexico, we’ve gotten a lot of questions — sincerely curious and concerned questions, so I thought it best to address some of those here, more or less at the start of this journey. We covered the question of what happensContinue reading “In case you were wondering…”
What if Biden wins?
We’ve been legitimately touched by everyone who has reached out to wish us well and ask questions about our plans to sell our house and move to Mexico. The one prerequisite for this move to happen is being able to sell our house for an amount that we think is fair. Our asking price isContinue reading “What if Biden wins?”
Goodbye Facebook, Hello Mexico
This story really starts on November 8, 2016, but for immediate purposes it begins on my birthday, September 10. My wife, Tanya, and I have told our immediate family and close friends of our decision to emigrate from the United States of America and begin a new life in Mexico because we no longer feelContinue reading “Goodbye Facebook, Hello Mexico”
