Living Well in Vorarlberg It’s been a busy past few weeks and I’ve neglected my blogging – living the good life seems to be preferable to writing about it. But now, I’m pooped. A few minutes of downtown affords the opportunity to catch up with the Blog. The Trifecta ofRead More →
Enjoying Summer’s Heat What do Biking, plumbers, and the World Cup have to do with each other…..not much other than these are the themes of my recent days while Ursula has been cavorting around Europe enjoying the sights with a tour group. She left the cats behind to provide meRead More →

Going away for a Year What could be more simple! Pack up the cats and fly to Vorarlberg; just hang out for a year! It’s an easy plan, until you get into the details – then, perhaps, it’s a naive plan. We put a lot of effort into our VoralrbergRead More →
More Vids I still haven’t had a chance to sit down and catch up with all the events and activities since we arrived in Feldkirch. But, I have taken a lot of pictures. For this Blog edition I’ve put together a VLOG called ‘A day in Vorarlberg, a vid.’ It’sRead More →
And it Begins… Preamble to ‘A Year in Vorarlberg’ Blog – Eighteen months ago in a very, very cold, dark and wet Alaskan day, Ursula and I sat in the Islander Bar reviewing our last year and half since retirement and trying to figure out if we’d done the rightRead More →
Finally! Arriving in Feldkirch Video Log – it’s been a busy and fast few weeks with travels and dramas and events and fun…and all sorts other stuff. It hasn’t been a period filled with any blogging or reflecting….as the ‘here and now’ is too demanding. Soon, I plan to takeRead More →
