And it isn’t food. I’ve now had three major meals in Havana, not including breakfasts, which is, I realize, a small sample. I’m never one to shy away from making premature judgments about anything, least of all, food. I’m ready to judge. I’m pretty sure they have no idea how to cook in Cuba. Maybe it’s the commies, perhaps it’s the years the rooskies were here, but either they never knew how to cook, or, if they did, they’ve forgotten.

Patsy, our travel agent, says we have a black cloud over us when it comes to DFW and American Airlines, but it only happens when my darling wife, S. is with me. This time the mechanical bug bit our aircraft and we had to wait for another. Only a two hour delay which didn’t actually matter much to us as we planned to overnight in Miami, but the 100 or so other fellow travelers who were making connections in Miami got the shaft. We finally landed and after the world’s longest runway taxi we disembarked only to be confronted with the world’s longest terminal walk. It was a least six miles I promise you. Unfortunately, it took half the walk schlepping 150...

This time the mechanical bug bit our aircraft, and we had to wait for another.

After 30 years in the world of big business, Gary “retired” to pursue long ignored interests. While continuing his involvement in the corporate world by serving as a director of several public companies, he has, among other things, traveled the world in pursuit of the perfect bird photograph, served national and local charities as a director and donor, developed a personal web site as a platform for his writing on subjects of personal interest, and, occasionally, taken time to smell the roses.
Gary and his wife Sandra, shuttle between their condo in Dallas and their farm in Fannin county, Texas where they indulge themselves in organic gardening, long walks and entertaining friends and family.
