Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes – Sometimes it is hard to know by simply looking at a name if it is a rock band name, racehorse name, or a boat name. For example, Oasis shows up as a rock band name, racehorse name, as well as a boat name. Well, Oasis is also a girl’s name. I would not be surprised if someone already is or is about to name their child Oasis. Not to mention having a few product names as Oasis. It is a changing world and, of course, these trends did not start with Coronavirus or Covid-19. Are you ready for this name? Can you guess what this stands for: X Æ...
Estimated Reading Time: 8 minutes – *SBFL 9 – PLANNED – I am big on time capsules and time machines. Sometimes, especially during this trying time of the Coronavirus pandemic, I wish there was a type of time machine that I could use to go back in time, but not to live there, like in the Outlander stories in the popular Starz TV channel series.

While planning for future fun times—or taking advantage of downtime now during the quarantine to sun on your deck—also plan to help reduce the rising rates of Melanoma and other types of skin cancer from overexposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the Sun. We all know about sunscreens, but as you’re reading this post, I want you to think one step beyond sunscreens. I want you to think of the fact that 1...
Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes – *SBFL 8 – PLANNED – It may feel surreal reading a travel blog such as mine about trips, coastal living, and boating in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic that we’re currently in. Let’s face it, social distancing is here to stay for much more than a few weeks. It will upend our way of life, in some ways forever. One of our social obligations is to help flatten the curve of it, as much as we can. However, let’s also hope that with every passing year, humanity, and especially politicians, makes sure that history doesn’t repeat itself. An eerie blueprint of the events and the echoing cries...
