With the new month, comes new plans and ideas. January was a fresh start. February looks poised to continue the momentum. As far as this blog is concerned, the month will see a change in content. Starting tomorrow, all new Stamps of 2023 articles will be posted on the rebooted Philatelic Pursuits blog. Previously published … Continue reading Welcome, February!

Introducing ‘MY COLLECTIONS’
Earlier this week, I launched a new blog which I call MY COLLECTIONS. It is based on an idea that I had while on Greeting Duty one morning (it's a fairly mindless task and my thoughts tend to meander between my wai'ed "Good Mornings"). Basically, I have long wanted to just share images of collectibles … Continue reading Introducing ‘MY COLLECTIONS’
Interest Renewed?
The past few months have seen a lot of changes in my life, more bad luck than I care to admit but also a ray of sunshine that keeps me trying to move forward from day to day. As a result, I have not felt inspired to blog (or to do much of anything) for … Continue reading Interest Renewed?
Daily Phuket #47: 3 May 2021 – Staying Busy
My first "Daily Phuket" of May 2021 and the photo is a view that I see most of the day, every day. Only what is on my screen changes. Still, my laptop is on its last legs and sometimes it takes hours before everything is working correctly. Today, that screen was filled with lesson plans … Continue reading Daily Phuket #47: 3 May 2021 – Staying Busy
April 2021: It Just Flew By!
All things considered, the month of April went by extremely quickly. It was nothing like the same month last year with its endless uncertainties and constant contradictory tightening of restrictions. A year later, we are experiencing much the same restrictions with this wave of the pandemic giving us higher statistics than the entire previous year … Continue reading April 2021: It Just Flew By!
Wow! Where Did May Go?
I cannot believe that it is time to once again attempt to summarize all that I did during the just-finished month. May just seemed to fly past, especially compared to April. I do not recall doing anything particularly different than in April. It was simply another 31 days of remaining at home all day every … Continue reading Wow! Where Did May Go?
Update #2019-10
Greetings, readers! I'm (almost) back to "regular" blogging. No, I didn't fall off the edge of the Earth. I am just trying to recover from what was simple exhaustion. My 53-year-old body essentially rebelled against my unrelenting schedule. For weeks, I had been looking forward to taking a bit of a vacation/holiday break at the … Continue reading Update #2019-10
October is National Stamp Collecting Month
Since 1981, the month of October has been celebrated as National Stamp Collecting Month in the United States and Canada. November is National Stamp Collecting Month in the Philippines. I began collecting stamps around the age of nine years old; counting a few breaks for other pursuits (girls, music, travel to name but three), I … Continue reading October is National Stamp Collecting Month
The Old… and the New
I kept my previous design for Asian Meanderings for more than six years, using a modified version of WordPress' Twenty-Ten theme with black background, customized headers, and other little tweaks here and there. The new design is actually the Twenty-Sixteen theme with gold-based background (although I may change this in the near future). It's still basically … Continue reading The Old… and the New
Changes Are Afoot….
I would very much like to resurrect this blog and return to semi-regular posts. Over the past year or more, I have had very little motivation as I have developed into a very solid routine of working (I'm an English teacher in Phuket, Thailand) and being lazy during my limited days off. Indeed, the last … Continue reading Changes Are Afoot….
