Stuck in heaven...again.



Wish I had more exciting news to report, but the life and death of living has kept me busy as of late.
I went home to the Pacific Northwest to visit my mother, who had a serious surgery (any surgery can be serious at 94 years of age), and I caught the germ. I ended up having an appendicitis attack, and I had my appendix out. So pretty much the last month or two have been spent dealing with ailments and traveling back and forth to the US.

I am settled, and getting more so every day, back in San Miguel de Allende...central high plateau Mexico. Life couldn't be sweeter.

We have a very comfortable apartment a block from the town square (the jardin), and we are gradually gathering furniture of our own and appliances to make life a lot more "luxurious".

No trips on the immediate horizon, except of course returning to the Pacific Northwest to visit my family in May. But I'm tossing around a couple-three options. I have never been to Guatemala, Chile or Argentina, and I'm trying to decide which one I want to try first.
I figure when we head to Chile and Argentina, we'll have to plan to stay awhile, as it's so far away, and I believe in making the airfare worthwhile.

But in the meantime, we'll be planted here in San Miguel, planting flowers and getting more settled as time passes. The weather is fantastic, and the life is a slow and comfortable one to slip into, especially if you are from the States and live in the rat-race world.

This is my baby, my 1971 Buick LeSabre that I bought back in 2000 for my daughter, Anne and her son, Evan, to use while she was studying at the University of Oregon.

It only had 47000 miles on it, and was a one owner, a 90+ year old gentleman who gave up the road to a good cause.

When Anne was finished using my battleship, I took it back and drove it down to Mexico where we lived for a few years...happily, and with lots of googles and "awws".

I sold it this past summer to a gentleman from Norway, an American, who crated it up and took it over to Norway to be "a classic" for the rest of it's days. This made me very happy, but very sad as well. I've never owned a car of such elegance before, and I have many good memories in the battleship, but I know it went to a loving home.

Introduction to who is Hulk

Hi there, and welcome to my fresh, new blog.

I'm going to be going at this slowly, but I thought it might be nice for friends and family to keep tabs on me, and for me to be able to let those who care know what is going on with this person an the highway of life.

Currently am living in Mexico, San Miguel de Allende, with my lovely wife, Adriana. We returned after nearly a year up north in acquiring her legal papers to move freely in and out of the US with me when I need/want to return for a visit.

I'll try to get some things of interest up on the board soon, but in the mean time, I just want to say hello, and let you all know I am fine and life is good...very, very good.

I wish you all the best. Hope my blog has something to offer others that can make life more interesting and rewarding.
