Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.  Greg is old, you can’t lie about being old when you’re 60.  Fortunately 2023 has been and promises to be an outrageously good year.  Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow, you might be in Utah or Joe Biden might be selling out your country to the commies.

 

 

 

Greg has moved back to Houston and is living inside 610, across the street from Marfrales.

2023 started off in Israel and moved the wrong direction around the world.  After Singapore, Davao, Manila, Guam and Tokyo and finally home to Houston. Then Oslo, Israel, Dubai and the Birthday non celebration in the books.  Greg is currently in Asia and more travel slated ahead.

2022 was unusual by Greg’s standards.  Greg started the year in the US and travelled to Israel in early January.  He lived on the beach in Ashkelon most of 2021 and the first 3 months of 2022.  Then he travelled to the Philippines to meet his daughter, Morgana (currently 3) in April.  Then to Singapore.  Most of the year he spent on a ship, the Energean Karish.  He sailed on the ship from Singapore through the Suez Canal to Israel. The video of the Suez is here.

Another video of the Karish project is here.

Greg has been jetskiing in Alaska with his best college friends.  The summer trip from July is here.  He’s going for the 4th time, this time to Juneau in July.

Greg spent preThanksgiving with his sons Kai (15) and William (12) and then went to the farm and spent Thanksgiving with his parents and Michael Taylor came after.  Today he’s in Manila and tomorrow Singapore.  Back to Houston Tuesday.

Kai Jupiter is 15 and William Neptune is 12 and they are both playing piano and violin.  Morgana is 3 and doesn't like when it rains.

Greg sold the house in League City and bought a farm in Missouri.  Greg got divorced, had his heart cauterized, jet skied to Alaska and went to Turkey to get his hair re-arranged.  In 2021 Greg and the crew travelled with Steven Moll from Ketchikan, Alaska to Seattle, WA, 1000 miles in 10 days (5 days riding).  Video of that trip here.

Some history:

2021 – Mostly Israel, 1000 miles on a jetski

2020 – Heart cauterized, left Hess, Metairie

2019 – Divorced, jetskied to Alaska

2018 – Joins Hess

2017 – Bliss in the USA

2016 – Norway ends, move back to Houston

2015 - Norway

Greg travelled from Geoje, South Korea to Mauritius and then from Las Palmas to Haugesund, Norway from July to September 2014.  Photos of the voyage. 

Greg's not so latest political diatribe is here.

Imagine a US building initiative.  For something useful like nuclear power plants.  Think of all the jobs created and with the cheap power, cheaper US manufacturing and living cost.  That and we'd stop bleeding cash and political interest to the Mid East.  If the US didn't invent nuclear power, we certainly were the first to apply it.  Now, we're behind France and Sweden.  The US needs to invest in itself, in meaningful useful things.  Not in fat politicians, lawyers and money managers, but in good old fashioned infrastructure.  We could start tomorrow if it weren't for lawyers, politicians and environmentalists.  Interesting article from one of my least favorite magazines.

Jupiter has his own site.  Kai is 15.  His website might be 4.

Greg is working on William Neptune's website.  Not really.  William is going to have to do that.

Greg's Health Care Diatribe is complete.  You can read that here.  Thanks Lindsey for doing such a great job editing.  Then Greg sent it to someone and included another diatribe, this one more on the previous Presidential Erection.

Cool photo from New Zealand.

Greg's legal system diatribe...

Greg has been warning of the hypocrisy and evil nature of The Big Lie (Social Security) for years.  The best quote in this Washington Post article is "Opportunities for gradual change have been squandered."  Greg wishes the article outlined how little current Social Security grafters paid and how much they'll get vs. how much young people pay vs. how little they'll get.  GM and United are great examples on how we will all pay for the excesses of the baby boom.  You thought Enron was big, just wait.  Oh, and Obama doesn't want to fix anything.  He just want's to raise Greg's taxes.  Notice, Social Security gets a great deal of mention in the last election or the next one.  And certainly don't expect any leadership from the idiot in the White House on Social Security.

Jim came to visit Singapore a long time ago.  Jim's 3 trip reports here.

Greg is typically away.  Every day is an adventure.

The Princeton review decided Mines is the least fun college in North America .  Must be that wonderful Dean of Student life (Que "Animal House" think Dean Wormer).  Greg wrote a diatribe (imagine that), check out the bad dorm food and it's least fun ranking here:  And now the Sig Ep fraternity is on something worse than double secret probation.  Rah Mines, Rah Mines, Mines Raw.
