A Cancer Scare

A few weeks after we arrived back in Algiers, we had settled back into our routine: Working from home Sunday-Thursday, an hour of early evening exercise, shaking up an ice cold gin martini at 7, making dinner, kitty cuddles and TV before bed, socializing with a few friends on the weekends.

Best of 2020

2021 was supposed to be the new year/fresh start we all hoped for, but so far it’s pretty shit.

It’s just starting to be Spring in Michigan. Also: I got some very good news on the health front (and I blogged about it on TheNextDinnerParty.com).
A church turned bar/sandwich shop in Detroit.
