La Ruta del Sabor del Campo

Cuando el calor es insoportable, la mejor estrategia es manejar la moto de noche y buscar rutas en el campo donde la temperatura es mas pasadera. 

En Puerto Rico, una isla tropical donde llueve frecuentemente, los constantes aguaceros ayudan a apaciguar el calor que arropa la isla. Aprovechar el fresco de la noche en motora, y saborear los deliciosos sabores de la piragua en Puerto Rico es simplemente una de esas tradiciones que solamente saben a Puerto Rico.

Why Are You Here To See The Doctor Today?

It can take forever to get a doctor's appointment. Here in Philadelphia, routine 3-month check ups are standard practice. Yesterday, at the start of the appointment a new medical assistant was taking my vitals and asked me if I was Italian.

She mentioned that I have a noticeable strong Italian accent when I talk in English. I thought it was funny because I've never visited Italy. The closest I've been to Italy was when I visited Paris in 2022. No one has ever asked me that question. According to genealogy, the surname Olivieri is mostly found in Europe primarily in Italy, but I digress.

I am happy to report that my previous lab test results from 3-months ago, are good. I have been able to maintain my normal weight for a person my height and age, and I religiously take my medications exactly as prescribed. I have to confess that it hasn't been easy. In the past, I have struggled with my daily calories intake to manage my weight. Being a 6'-4" man at 70 puts me in a unique demographic where maintaining mobility, lean muscle, and cardiovascular health is important. At my age, getting a clean bill of health is wonderful news.

Leaving The Daily Grind Behind

During a conversation with a neighbor this afternoon, I came to the realization how much I miss my former job at the Health Clinic. It's been only 5 years since I retired. 

Don't get me wrong, I am happily retired. I enjoy the freedom of having full control of setting up my own schedule and leaving the daily grind behind. I am so looking forward to many years of happiness, health, and many happy memories in the years to come.

1959 Triumph T120 Bonneville

Ultimamente he estado mirando motos antiguas en el internet, y he hecho unas cuantas imagenes de Inteligencia Artificial con ellas. El problema es que conseguir una de ellas a un precio razonable es practicamente imposible. Los precios se han disparado por las nubes y son bien prohibitivos. Una de las pocas motoras Indian que me gustan, jamas pagaria lo que piden por ellas hoy en dia. Veremos a ver si me pego en la Lotto. Jajaja

Ordered Fish For Dinner


I treated myself and I ordered fish for dinner at my favorite local restaurant last night. Nothing beats a perfectly cooked piece of seafood!

Me Quede Con Las Ganas de Visitar Havana Cuba

Cuba siempre ha sido uno de los lugares que siempre quise visitar. En la isla hay muchos sitios historicos y tremenda riqueza cultural en cuestion de musica. Debe ser un verdadero espectaculo asistir a un concierto de musica al aire libre en la Havana. Con su arquitectura colonial y playas paradisiacas no me quiero ni imaginar las bellezas de iconicas fotos que se pueden tomar en esa isla.
