Greetings from Barangay Pundaquit, municipality of San Antonio, Zambales province, on the lovely island of Luzon, here in the Philippines. The Wi-Fi in my room here at the Wave Song Resort sucks big time, so hopefully I can make it through this post.

The good news is that it appears Swan enjoyed her 42nd birthday very much. One of her friends provided our transport to Pundaquit, and Swan’s sister and a couple of friends came along for the ride. So, we had a birthday luncheon at one of our favorite places here, CMC Car Wash. Yeah, that’s a weird name for a restaurant/bar, but the food and atmosphere are to my liking.

After lunch, we were dropped off at our beachfront hotel room.

Then we moved outdoors to the Beach Bar beach and sat in a covered area.

Thanks for the show! We finished our evening back in the bar area.

Then it was time to pay our tab for the evening. A little over 2000 pesos all in, including a bottle of wine for Swan, the lady drinks, and NINE bottles of beer for me. Not bad for an old guy.

From the December 2019 LTG archives is another “day in the life” type post, but this one stood out as a reminder of my random encounters with women in my bygone days of singlehood.

Today’s YouTube video caught my eye because it is only five minutes long. That’s important when your internet connection sucks. Anyway, it turned out to be quite thought-provoking. It reminded me of a childhood memory. There was a car wreck near my house, and when someone opened the passenger side door, a woman’s body fell out on the ground (this was before seatbelts and airbags). I recall thinking at the time, what if she had left home a minute later, or missed the traffic light at the previous intersection? Timing is everything.

How about trying these on for size:

By golly, I made it through the post. Now let’s see what happens when I hit the “publish” button.
