Return To Forever
/0 Comments/in Travelogue, USA /by allanI’ve been exercising by climbing these 137 steps straight down to Swami’s surf beach in Encinitas, California As the days tick by I can’t help but feel loss and longing.

Details. Details.
/1 Comment/in Travelogue, USA /by allanJust finished my ninth physical therapy session this morning. Suzie seems to consistently find new exercises for me. The reps are increasing and the timed durations are getting longer. I think my leg is getting stronger. I’m still walking with a limp. And neither of us like this.
