What happened?

My record shows I made my last post February 2019. Been -- what? -- four and a half years and a bit. Why the delay? 

First. 

Wife opened her cafe. Working the cafe took all her time and money. Took all my time and a good portion of my money, too. After some months, got within spitting distance of breaking even. Then -- 

Second. 

The Great Wuhan Flu Epidemic hit. For those who believe the lie that the Wuhan Flu started with a bat in an open air market, please leave. 

Well, that put an end to the cafe. Despite the shutdown of many restaurants, wife got a job as the chef in a company cafeteria. She liked the work, but the job had two drawbacks: long commute (hour and a half each way) and a crazy boss. The crazy boss is not an exaggeration. Turned out she had a brain tumor. When she got the diagnosis, she sold her business. That was -- what? -- September. So two months ago. 

Wife signed up for some cooking courses to get new certifications. In the space between wife leaving her job and her first cooking course, we took a trip. 

Next time: Our trip to Seattle and Hawaiian Airlines good and bad.
