With snowshoeing season over and spring backpacking around the corner, this is a good time to head south for some fun in warm, clear water!

Yeah, the big split between academics and the arts. The US is especially big on preparing for tests that are easy to grade, providing a quantitative metric of progress. The arts get crushed beginning in grade school.@TimKStanton As I was being educated there were still some wonderful arts programs. I started singing operas in High School, premieres from composers such as Aaron Copeland. Respected figures who believed in early education and experience in the arts. Shortly after I started college, almost all of that funding vanished. The rest was self-propelled. What an adventure! I've loved so much of my life. I'm very fortunate, and I know it. I still whine about washing machines that don't work, tho..

How nice! (except for the funding part). Yeah, in the end it gets down to broken washing machines (or an explosion of ants in the basement, which I just now discovered). -

Sadly, most people in the performing arts seem to need to have another form of income to stabilize the lifestyle. But, you figured it out!! Yeah, "tripping through the various skills" applies to many types of work!@TimKStanton I don't mind working hard, and I had a daughter to show how to do it without letting yourself be stopped. Because, honestly, life is comprised mostly of solving mysteries, so if you don't like a good mystery, you're not going to enjoy it much!

No waterfall today on WaterfallWednesday, but how about a wave crashing over a large rock formation as viewed from underwater? Saw a number of such events while snorkeling around a rocky point last week. Waves were crashing regularly over the rocks--- had to be careful and not get sucked into the swirling chaos of each crash! #ocean #snorkeling #waves

When distilling rum for over 200 years in an even older building, what do you make the windows out of? Rum barrels, of course! I took a rum tasting tour of this distillery in Tortola, British Virgin Islands the day before I set sail. A great way to kick off the trip! #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday

Thanks, Richard. The rain there was very localized. The sun was shining on us while we watched the rain off in the distance producing the rainbow. -
@TimKStanton yes! Right back at you.

With snowshoeing season over and spring backpacking around the corner, this is a good time to head south for some fun in warm, clear water! I’ll be mostly off the grid for the next week or so.
See you on the other side! -
