My visit to India saw some of the upper and lower class conditions of the country, though mostly the upper class, I will admit. I stayed in a 5-star Marriott hotel, one that was often a location for Bollywood movies being shot in Mumbai, which is India's movie "capital" as well as its major financial … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #91: India, Part 2

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 O where are kings and empires now Of old that went and came?

And the evening, and the morning …
Was a house warming party! I was looking for a topic to blog about today, and there it was before me, right outside my front door. It all began last night, around 9 p.m., as I was headed to bed.

Fitness Update: Bicycle and sans Bicycle

Today's blast of the past is going to be more of a travelogue, with multiple photo plates, instead of one big photo plate. I had the privilege of travelling to India for two weeks for work in 2007. My destination: Mumbai -- the Bollywood of India, and its financial center. I traveled with an officer … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #90: India, Part 1
Voice on Steroids
Back at the beginning of the month both Betsy and I came down with the same cough on a Wednesday, which turned into a fever that Sunday, that took us to the doctor together on Monday, for a 'something' pack of antibiotics that we took 5 days but lasted 10 days in our system.
