Taco Tuesday

...or as they call it here in Puerto Vallarta -- Tuesday or martes.

I am enjoying this weather! It is mid 60s (17c) for my morning walk to a different coffee shop and expected to be around 80 (27c) later today. Here is a pic of some of the flora I passed by on my morning walk.

I am ready for spring!

In truth, I may not actually have a taco today. I'll just have to see where the day takes me. Although the breakfast menu at this little cafe looks good, I may just enjoy my coffee and keyboard time and wait to have something to eat. 

Ten years ago I was ending my final shift at work as an air traffic controller. I used the balance of my sick leave to finish out the month and began my quiet, peaceful retirement. A couple of the gifts I received from coworkers were a bomber of a good barrel aged stout and a couple of very fine cigars. In each of the years since then I have celebrated my retirement anniversary with a barrel aged stout and good cigar. It hasn't always been right on the anniversary of my retirement because winter weather in SWMO isn't always kind to outdoor cigar smokers, 
Sometime in the weeks after my return to the States I will celebrate my 10 years of being retired. It has been a pretty good life.

I expect the coming year will also be a good year to be retired. In spite of the surrounding chaos, I am hopeful that good people and good things will continue to surround me and I sincerely believe that I need to have a part in being the good, encouraging, and helpful person to others that venture across my path in 2025. 
I hope to have encouraging posts and share some beautiful pics of my flowers and garden areas. 
For now I am going to follow this morning's Americano with a Oaxacan cold brew. It looks chocolaty and fancy.
