The best bottle opener on the planet.
I believe it was back in early September 2012 — when I celebrated being half of my Mother’s age — that I acquired the above bottle opener.
At that point I spent a week on the beaches south of Lisbon doing exactly nothing.
Honestly, lying on […]
I had what I can only describe as a really great Saturday.
Individually all three components of my Saturday were great and fun, but collectively, I’m going to bed a lot earlier than I expected (3 am). Oddly though, my early (relatively speaking) bedtime can only help me on Sunday.
This morning I caught the […]

I overexposed myself.
And I mean that in […]

The most amazing aspect of their daughter is that they are raising her to speak Portuguese (her mother’s native tongue), Swiss-German (her father’s native tongue), and English. Apparently the […]
The weather turned out to be far nicer than forecasted: sunny, warm, and perfect. What follows is a photo essay of my day, in five pictures.
Never turn your back on the water, even when posing for a photo. I had a wet posterior for hours.
I think this is body surfing? Looks […]
