Active Living and Travel

It’s good, or at least forward moving (not bad). I’m 64, so mortality looms larger by the year. … I don’t think you contemplate mortality very much in your youth, and that mindset lingers on for decades—thank God it does. You shouldn’t be fixated on that shit when you’re young, because accidents do happen, and…

I’ve encapsulated it in a short video for entertainment and amusement. There’s that. And I’ll leave it at that, for now. (Something’s going on with AI. Investigating. Post for members soon.)

Yesterday, I’m suddenly alerted to the fact that all Thais throughout the country are clamoring for durian fruit (AKA “King of Fruits”). Now, I’m very well aware that nearly all Asians love durian. It’s a very peculiar and special fruit. For one, it stinks like shit. I can recall visiting Singapore in the late 80s,…

Fuck yeah, Thailand. The Land of the Free. Let that sink in for a second. While the U.S. struts around waving its star-spangled ego, claiming to be the freest place on Earth, Thailand’s been quietly flipping the bird at that narrative since 1932. Prathet Thai—literally “land of the free”—earned its name by dodging colonial bullshit…

Someone posed this question to me on the X platform. I tend to post quite a bit, but as a proportion of the stuff that scrolls on by, perhaps less than 1% is some reaction or comment from me. Same Facebook. But I’ve also been quite reflective about all of it lately. … You ever…

Hahahaha As I get older, I find myself increasingly amused by the younger generations who just don’t quite grasp the way I choose to live my life. Most of these critics are significantly younger than I am—sometimes by decades—and they have this knack for virtue signaling. They look at me and question, “How can you…

It’s the stuff that adds up The Royal Cliff Beach Hotel in the headline photo (est. 1974), and the view is from my new condo on the 23rd floor of The Sky Residences. Keep that in mind. I’ll close the loop at the end. There’s a story. … My last post was about this move…

You’re never too old to lean young Back in late fall of 2023, I got an offer I simply couldn’t refuse. My lease in the condo I was renting at the time was expiring. A longtime friend of mine from Phuket, who owns a pristine one-bedroom unit in Pattaya, Thailand, reached out to see if…

Another procrastination post Life has been throwing too much my way lately. Annoying life. So, I thought, why not give you a sneak peek into what this old, or should I say, dirty old man’s life in Pattaya, Thailand, looks like? I’ve gathered seventy photos – could’ve been more, could’ve been less, but let’s just…

I hear your cry for help Thought I’d drop a filthy little update on what I’ve been up to lately—diving balls-deep into the wild world of Thai chics. These past few weeks, I’ve been racking up conquests like a goddamn champ. Picture this: a parade of sultry vixens, none of ‘em less than 30 years…

NOT MUCH COMMENT Long drive yesterday, then had to drop off plants, incidentals, 100+ pounds of rice (so all these lean people can get fat…it makes me LOL every day), and about 50 pounds of charcoal Far made herself, to her daughter, Pam. Backstory is that she grew up in the mountains (hills…no electricity or…
