OK. In my last post I bellyached about how I was away so much that it interfered with my having time to write any posts.

I signed off by saying, “No more excuses.”

I lied.

I got pneumonia. Yep. Just like getting run over by a train. Knocked me silly and put me out of commission for a few weeks. But the good news is that I finally got rid of those nasty bugs that took over for a bit. Hello again to living, working, and just plain being able to breathe again! Mind you, I’m playing serious, very serious catch up. Big time. Once again, aiming to see daylight by month’s end.

Meanwhile, here’s a photo essay I did for Life As A Human about a memorable encounter I had in Vietnam titled “Gifts from Hanoi.”

Carmen and I also wrote some stories about Thailand for Travel + Escape. I’ve imbedded the links into the names of the stories.
