I had another wonderful visit hosted by Doug and Diana Davis.

I was there finishing final videotaping of Gymnastics Games. They should be released SOON. 🙂

Port Townsend is for outdoor adventure. I spent a lot of time on Doug’s excellent road bike.

Doug just invested in a company producing Elf bicycles in the USA.

I had one issue. An ingrown nail blew up. For some days I considered fleeing to the socialized Health Care of Canada.

It quickly healed after we released the pus. A-OK now.

Farewell PT. I should be back after New Years. 🙂

I got the chance in Nepal, in the 1990s.

I bribed this Mahout U.S.$1 to help with the daily bath.

Whidbey Island (historical spelling Whidby) is the larger of the two main islands (the other island is Camano Island, east of Whidbey) that comprise Island County, Washington, in the United States. Whidbey is about 30 miles (48 km) north of Seattle …

I spent a sunny day cycling.
