There are 11 days in a ‘mooch’. So almost 13.

Though it only feels like 5 months… it’s barely been 3 :(

The dominoes will fall like a house of cards.

Checkmate.

It was the magic smoke escaping through the screen.

A ‘mooch’ is 11 days iirc. So exactly 4 mooches.

• Every state in the US (most in the form of being driven through back in the 70s), including Hawaii and Alaska
• Mexico over a dozen times, primarily Laredo
• Canada (for a day as part of a cruise)
• England and Scotland 4 times, including my honeymoon (about a month in total)
• Ireland (part of the aforementioned honeymoon, 4 days, including being in Dublin on St Patrick’s Day)
• This part gets a little weird… Italy, Austria, Switzerland, WEST Germany… all before the wall fell
• West Berlin then East Berlin, the latter being the first time I’d ever had a gun pointed at me (polizei)
• Hungary as part of a trip to find where my paternal grandparents had lived prior to coming to the US
• New Zealand for 2.5 weeks to see Hobbiton… as well as a wealth of natural beauty and KORORA
• US Virgin Islands (St John)

EDIT: also France for 6 hours via the Chunnel ;)
