Life with Wife---30 Years!!

Okay, we've had some fun with this Lack of Adult Supervision stuff, but I have to admit that Life with Wife is better than ever, as we approach (in two weeks) thirty years of wedded bliss.  I have cleaned up the house, and am ready to receive some supervision.  Take a look at the wonderful benefits and fun of a supervised life!!!  Welcome home, Honey!

Lack of Adult Supervision: Fifth (and Final) Weekend

Me and the submerged Jesus
Shelly is back next Saturday, so I needed one more unsupervised adventure . . . this one was underwater!  Went SCUBA diving with my diving buddy Alex and our friends at Tortuga Diving.  Four hour-long dives over two days caps off my diving in Ecuador's Pacific waters.  Highly recommend my divemaster Pablo at Tortuga Divers---he's a careful and cautious teacher, and loves to show us the wonders of the world underwater.  Hurry home, Shelly!  I need supervision!

Biggest pufferfish ever!

13 year old diver Emilio brought his homemade
sushi for mid-morning snack! Awesome!

More of David's Watercolors

Scottish Castle and Bridge
I used a nice photo of a Scottish castle and bridge as inspiration for my latest watercolor painting.

There are some others too . . .  inspired by Arches National Park and Multnomah Falls, Oregon.

Still having fun with my artwork and classes!

Lack of Adult Supervision: Fourth Weekend


My new "best friend" Jorge of the Jungle
Hippie Heaven without the drugs!!!!  Just a few kilometers from the Ecuador coast, in the midst of a dense jungle lies the healing and healthy Bromelia Lodge resort.  For my fourth weekend without adult supervision, I spent the Presidents' Day holiday at Bromelia.  Run by the highly energetic Tito, the site offered massage, meditation, Reiki treatments, aura balancing, natural foods, bonfire cleansing ceremonies, and card readings.  I did all of that, and came away an evolved human being in just 3 days. There was a constant flow of very interesting guests, visitors, and invited shamans.  A combination of eastern religions, Mayan spirituality, and just plain healthy living deep in the Ecuadorian jungle.   The strongest substances were fresh ginger infused bottled water.   
What a trip!!!
