Mone of my life goals is to set foot on all seven continents. I have three down, and am looking at Asia next. There is a lot of conflict in much of Asia these days. I'm looking for a good place, and safe place. Any advice? My first thought has been the Philippines. I prefer traveling solo, and not in travel groups. I like meeting...

Listen to a new, raw version of REM's 'elegy and eulogy' for Kurt Cobain

Still wonder sometimes how I made it out the other side.
Anyone else listen to "Lord of the Lost"? I discovered them on my last trip through Germany. I can't stop listening to their albums. I love Thornstar.

Finally off all the antibiotics. Here is hoping it doesn't come back. The doctors say the first week is when it's most likely to happen. Fingers crossed. At least I can now leave the house.
