Another fine Sunday is in the books. Just the usual–a candy walk with Swan, a Hideaway feeding, and spending some time on the water at the floating bar. The pictures tell the story better than I can, so let’s get to them:

After the usual R&R at home, I headed out to Hideaway. Stopped at Jewel and ordered the grub on the way. Once again, I was the only customer in the bar. Five hungry girls sitting around looking bored. Well, they got fed, but the hour I spent there was almost painful. I don’t know how they stay in business. Worse, I don’t see any evidence they are even making an effort to turn things around. Then again, I’m only there for a brief time on a Sunday afternoon. Hmm, maybe that’s why people aren’t there–they’re waiting for me to leave!

With my duty done, I headed for the beach.

We did our nightcap at Green Room, then ordered some food from Sit-n-Bull to bring home. Buy one, get one on my drinks, and 15% off at SnB–putting those SOB coupons to work!

And so ended another day in paradise.

Five years ago I celebrated my 50th Run with the Subic Bay Hash.

And now, let me pause to honor the leader of the free world:

Speaking of jokes, here’s an old one from my Facebook memories:

A man goes to his doctor and complains that his wife hasn’t wanted to have sex with him for the past six months.

The doctor tells the man to bring his wife in so he can talk to her and hopefully determine what the problem is.

The following day, the wife goes to the doctor’s office. The doctor asks her what’s wrong, why doesn’t she want to have sex with her husband?

“Oh, that’s easily explained. For the past six months,” the wife says, “I’ve been taking a cab to work every morning. I don’t have any money. The cab driver asks me, ‘Are you going to pay today, or what?’ So, I take an ‘or what’.”

“Then, when I get to work,” she continues, “I’m late, so the boss asks me, ‘Are we going to write this down in the book, or what?’ So, I take an ‘or what’.

I take a cab to go home after work and, as usual, I have no money. The cab driver asks me again, ‘So, are you going to pay this time, or what?’ Again, I take an ‘or what’.

So you see, doc, by the time I get home I’m all tired out and don’t want it anymore.”

“Yes, I see,” replies the doctor. “So, are we going to tell your husband, or what?”

It seemed funny at the time.

Alright, time for today’s Quora Q&A:

Q: Why are you living in the Philippines now instead of staying in South Korea?

A: I lived in Korea for most of 2005–2018. Then, I retired and moved to the Philippines.

I loved my life in Korea, especially during the years I was in Seoul. The major factor in choosing to retire elsewhere was the cost of living in Korea. I can live like a rich man on my pension in the Philippines. I also like the fact that English is widely spoken here, which makes life all that much easier. Korea is wonderful, and so is the Philippines. Just in different ways.

Korea was another life, a lifetime ago, or so it seems. Seeing the old pictures from that life still causes pangs of sadness that it has come to an end. Still, I’m thankful that I could be “reborn” into the life I have found in the Philippines.

Ready for a laugh? Well, a smirk, at least:

Back tomorrow with a Hash report. Until then, paalam!
