May 2021: Everything is Broken

31st May 202131st May 2021 / Mark Joseph Jochim / Leave a comment

As I typed the title, my somewhat flawed memory was telling me that was the title of a Bob Dylan song a long time ago1. I am too lazy now to pull up MusicBee and confirm but it describes my current state accurately. My job is broken and I have an increasing number of broken … Continue reading May 2021: Everything is Broken

Daily Phuket #48: 8 May 2021 – Endlessly Waiting

8th May 2021 / Mark Joseph Jochim / Leave a comment

This was a rough week. Was it my worse week since coming to Thailand more than 16 years ago? If not, it certainly is close. The bottom line is that all we can do is wait and see what happens next. There is nothing else to do as we are all stuck with the important … Continue reading Daily Phuket #48: 8 May 2021 – Endlessly Waiting

April 2021: It Just Flew By!

30th April 2021 / Mark Joseph Jochim / 1 Comment

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.

Daily Phuket #43: 24 April 2021 – Masked Mona

24th April 202124th April 2021 / Mark Joseph Jochim / Leave a comment

The days have blended together so seamlessly that I honestly thought today was Friday until I looked at the date just a moment ago. Each day has been entirely like the one before, the only differing factor is the book I am reading and the stamps I am looking at. I have finished three full … Continue reading Daily Phuket #43: 24 April 2021 – Masked Mona

Wow! Where Did May Go?

31st May 202031st May 2020 / Mark Joseph Jochim / Leave a comment

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?

A Good Ole Meandering Update Of Sorts

30th April 2020 / Mark Joseph Jochim / Leave a comment

Since I copped-out on last month's "Not An Update", I feel a bit of an obligation to bring my few readers up-to-date on my activities during a month in which I never went anywhere at all.  In many ways, April 2020 has seemed like the longest month ever.  The upcoming month of May will be … Continue reading A Good Ole Meandering Update Of Sorts
