										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">We all have a part of our lives we prefer not to visit again. Mine came when I was about 12. A traveling accordion salesman came to our house. I know, you think I am making this up. No, it was real. It happened. My parents were both home along with my younger sister and myself. It was a Saturday, a day that will live in infamy. The salesman only wanted a few minutes of our time and my parents let him in carrying a huge box with him. He said his music company was looking for local musical talent and opened that giant box revealing a black shiny accordion. My parent&#8217;s eyes widened because they loved the Lawrence Welk show. They had never seen an accordion in real life. He strapped it on to himself, unclipped the gigantic bellows, and the monstrous thing took its first breath, almost sucking the air out of the room. We all gasped. He then played a simple little accordion piece. I looked around to see if the Lennon sisters were coming in. If you don&#8217;t know who I am talking about it means you are not 70 years old.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="360" height="334" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionAd.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38168" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionAd.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionAd-300x278.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><p>Then he looked at me and said, &#8220;Son, would you like to try it?&#8221; It was an emotional moment. My parents were so excited, almost like Lawrence Welk himself was in their home and their son was being blessed by the master. Before I knew it, I was holding this 250-pound black shiny monster and sitting on a chair. He placed my shaking fingers on the shiny buttons and keys and said, &#8220;Just hold the keys down and squeeze. I held those keys so tight and some others as well and squeezed that thing with all my 12-year-old might. The horrific sound it made must have resembled a cat in a blender. Don&#8217;t ask how I know that sound.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="360" height="474" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Idiots.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38164" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Idiots.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Idiots-228x300.jpg 228w" sizes="(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><p>The salesman looked at my parents in astonishment and exclaimed, almost shouting, &#8220;Your son has the talent!!&#8221; My parents were so proud. I later realized that may have been the first time. I was told when my dad first looked at me when I was born he said to my mother, &#8220;he looks like a plucked chicken.&#8221; That may be why my mother never told anyone about my birth, not ever her favorite sister. That sister called my mom to talk one day and heard this ten-month-old baby crying and said, &#8220;What&#8217;s that baby sound?&#8221; My mom said to her, &#8220;Oh, that is little Eddie.&#8221; And that was my official birth announcement. But now with that accordion strapped to my body like a straight jacket, they were proud of little Eddie. That was the day of my first musical talent evaluation. I did have one more music evaluation years later when my wife and I with our five children went to Canada to a Bible school. New students need to be evaluated for their musical potential since the choir is a mandatory course in the program. I was told to sing what the teacher told me. Apparently, that cat survived that blender and was trying again. I explained to the teacher that I could not play the radio. He sadly told me that in 20 years of being on staff at the Bible institute he had only exempted one person from the choir and now I was number 2. I am not making this up. It also turned out that this teacher played the accordion.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="360" height="450" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/WantToLearnAccordion.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38162" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/WantToLearnAccordion.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/WantToLearnAccordion-240x300.jpg 240w" sizes="(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><p></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="360" height="435" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/RebelAccordion.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38160" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/RebelAccordion.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/RebelAccordion-248x300.jpg 248w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><p>The day my parents bought that accordion and signed me up for music lessons was the day I began to understand what Dante wrote in &#8220;The Inferno,&#8221; He passed through the gate of Hell, which bore an inscription &#8220;Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.&#8221; From there it was just anguished screams, sort of like that cat in the blender. My friends were all playing neighborhood football and I was strapped to a beast in the seventh level of hell.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="360" height="359" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionFlat.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38167" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionFlat.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionFlat-300x300.jpg 300w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionFlat-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><p>To this day I don&#8217;t listen to salesmen. So, I did learn something important. I do like accordion jokes and I relate to them. Here are three favorites.</p><p>A group of accordion players chartered a 747 from LA to go to an Octoberfest celebration in Germany. Unfortunately, the plane was Hijacked and forced to land in New York. The hijacker demanded 10 million dollars for the plane and gave a terrifying warning to the FBI negotiators. He warned that for every half hour his demands were not met, he would release an accordion player.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="360" height="365" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/StickUp.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38158" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/StickUp.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/StickUp-296x300.jpg 296w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/PlayingPiano.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38161" width="349" height="338" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/PlayingPiano.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/PlayingPiano-300x291.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px" /></figure><p>One of my favorite Far Side comics has two frames. The upper frame shows a line of people entering Heaven. Saint Peter handing out Harps and the frame below shows a line of people entering Hell and Satan handing out accordions.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="360" height="331" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Apocalypse.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38166" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Apocalypse.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Apocalypse-300x276.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><p>A man was talking to his friend and mentioned he was trying to sell his old accordion but nobody wanted it. His friend suggested he just throw it away. Even better, his friend said,&#8221;There was an old abandoned car down the street that would be towed away. Just toss it in the back seat, no one will know or care.&#8221; So they did that. The next morning the man felt guilty about doing that and decided to retrieve his old accordion, but when he got to the car, there were five more accordions in the back seat.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="360" height="317" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/PeanutsAccordion.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38163" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/PeanutsAccordion.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/PeanutsAccordion-300x264.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="360" height="486" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BeatlesAccordion.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38165" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BeatlesAccordion.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BeatlesAccordion-222x300.jpg 222w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><p>My journey to the dark side came to an end after two years when I did my first recital. I played She&#8217;ll Be Coming Round the Mountain, and they stopped me after the first verse. My parents realized their big mistake and I never went back for more lessons. I went out to play neighborhood football with my friends and I broke my wrist. But even that was a great day. And I didn&#8217;t own a cat. Life was looking up.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="360" height="417" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionIsland.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38146" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionIsland.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AccordionIsland-259x300.jpg 259w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="360" height="363" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/SafeWord.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38159" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/SafeWord.jpg 360w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/SafeWord-298x300.jpg 298w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/SafeWord-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px" /></figure><p>The post <a href="https://travelingboy.com/travel/travels-with-my-accordion/">Travels With My Accordion</a> appeared first on <a href="https://travelingboy.com/travel">Traveling Archive</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">The View From My Cave</span></h2>
<p>I feel a little better today. More tests are needed but my doctor thinks I&#8217;m gonna survive.</p>
<p>Since my illness, I have been hibernating inside my cave so I feel like Rip Van Winkle waking up to a different world. Seems like I haven&#8217;t opened my email for weeks. I glimpse at the headlines and popular videos and here&#8217;s a random list of what I observe. See if you agree with me.</p>
<p>Media hasn&#8217;t changed. Biased reporting and omission are still the same in both sides of American politics. Now that Trump is no longer around, there&#8217;s not a lot of shouting (although I hear a little tweak from his small corner in the world). Late night talk is boring (although they try their best to be sensational). Some dare poke fun at Pres. Biden sleeping and falling down the stairs but I want to know how he is really doing. I heard he&#8217;s going to build a trillion dollar government infrastructure. That should be good, right? I wonder why VP Kamala is laughing a lot when she is confronted with some serious questions. Isn&#8217;t she supposed to be the border czar? Why do I see droves of illegals crossing the border (thousands everyday I heard) &#8230; many children in cages? Are they infected? Are they getting vaccinated before the American citizens? I notice gas price is a dollar more than last year. Weren&#8217;t we oil independent? Weren&#8217;t we even exporting oil? Is it at the expense of Climate Change? Didn&#8217;t everybody (from both sides) hate Governors Cuomo and Newsom? What&#8217;s the secret to their staying power?</p>
<p>I heard George Floyd&#8217;s killer (I could never remember his name) is declared guilty. Last year it was all about White violence against the Blacks. This year it&#8217;s about Asian violence &#8230; funny that they&#8217;re afraid to mention the race that is doing most of the violence. There&#8217;s a sale in Aldi&#8217;s &#8212; blueberries for 99 cents a pack! There are lots of toilet paper! Whoopie! Our butts are saved! The education system is finally holding in-person classes. My grand kids are happy. The restaurants are finally open. I wish I could say the same for other businesses. Many shops around me are bankrupt. The shopping malls are still empty. Local air travel is available. The stock market is in a roller coaster ride. Investment forecasters are contradicting each other. Where do you invest?</p>
<p>Covid in the US is dwindling down but not in Asia including the Philippines, India, Japan and more. There, life has gone from bad to worse as doctors and nurses are dying. The rest are scrambling for less effective vaccines &#8212; and they&#8217;re even paying good money for it! <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s better than nothing,&#8221;</em> they say. I&#8217;m praying for them. There&#8217;s a civil war in Myanmar &#8212; what a mess! China is extending its borders in the South China sea and about to swallow Taiwan. American battleships are floating close by. Russia is about to pounce on Ukraine. With no restriction, Iran is getting closer to developing their nuclear weapons. Israel has launched several attacks for their survival. Poor Prince Philip passed away but Queen Liz is still alive and kicking. Meanwhile in Hollywood &#8230; <em>nah!</em> &#8230; who cares about Hollywood?!</p>
<p>Are my perceptions accurate? Am I missing something? You guys decide if things are good or bad. I&#8217;m  crawling back to my cave to sleep. Wake me when the war&#8217;s over.</p>
<p>TGIF People!</p>

<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">The Flow is Low</span></strong></h2>
<p>When was the last time you gave blood? This is a question especially to the Universal Blood Donors out there.  There is a blood shortage. I&#8217;m serious. In this age of high tech everything, no one had developed artificial blood yet. The <a href="https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/find-drive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Red Cross</a> needs your blood.</p>
<p>Did you know that the greatest source of blood donors is the High School? Unfortunately, ever since the school lock-down, only the &#8220;oldies&#8221; have been the constant blood donors. In all the years I&#8217;ve donated blood, I must have seen less than a handful of teenagers giving blood. Wouldn&#8217;t it be so unfair if the blood supply runs out for the people who have given so much of their blood?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m donating blood this morning. Will you consider doing the same?</p>
<p>Here is a cool website that explains the different blood types: <a href="https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/blood-types.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RED CROSS BLOOD</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m tired. Wish I could, but today I have no clever ideas to dazzle and stimulate your mind (as if I ever did) except to say that:<em><br />
a little prick,<br />
a few minutes drip,<br />
will bloody save someone sick.</em></p>
<p>TGIF people!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">Covid Survivor</span></strong></h2>
<p>It was the second sleepless night for my sister. What started as a mild fever had escalated to a classic case of Covid 19. Her doctor was no help. He was textbook-trained but he had no first-hand experience with the disease. Sis couldn&#8217;t sleep in a normal postion because of the constriction in her lungs. She was told to lay on her stomach but that didn&#8217;t work. Standing up was not a solution either. How can you sleep while standing up? Heading for a third night of difficulty she got a phone call from my daughter (a nurse who works in the red zone). My daughter told her about <em>flowler&#8217;s position</em> &#8212; sleeping at an angle. (<a href="https://travelingboy.com/travel/february-2021-eclectic-news-articles/#covidsurvivor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEE DIAGRAM</a>). That&#8217;s what saved the day&#8230;. (I mean) the night. Later on, my daughter gave her more tips that led to her full recovery. I&#8217;m so glad for my sister&#8217;s health and so proud of my daughter. You can read my sister&#8217;s full testimony as well as her husband&#8217;s at <a href="https://travelingboy.com/travel/february-2021-eclectic-news-articles/#covidsurvivor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TravelingBoy.com</a>. Pass this on. This may save someone&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to salute our frontliners in this pandemic. I can only speak about my daughter but I&#8217;m sure this is the routine of every frontliner. She&#8217;s on her feet all day wearing her full plastic armor of face mask, plastic shield, cap and gloves. She trained herself not to scratch her nose or wipe her eyes. There are 60 doctors and nurses where she works. Despite their precaution, only my daughter and 2 other nurses have not yet had Covid. (I guess masks are good but it is the vaccines that are the game changers). She goes home after a full shift but she does not enter the house yet. She has to change in the garage, wrap her scrubs in a bag, go inside to take a bath. Only then, can she hug her kids and her husband.</p>
<p>You are blessed if you live here in America. The vaccines have reached millions already. Infection rates have dipped. My heart goes out to many more countries that still wait for the vaccines to arrive on their shores. Americans get the dosage free. In other countries people have to purchase it (if they are available at all). At least there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel. Let&#8217;s continue to pray for this generation.</p>
<p>TGIF people!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">I Love Lucid</span></strong></h2>
<p>I&#8217;m no dream expert but I watched a video (<a href="https://youtu.be/Pl-Ojmrs-ic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thoughty2</a>) that explained what lucid dreams are about. The host said that you can actually tap a high potential of your mind when you reach that sleep stage. It&#8217;s the place where a fountain of ideas come from. It&#8217;s where the outliers in your thought patterns solve problems you could not otherwise accomplish in your waking moments. I hope that what I share today will make you aware of your hidden super power.</p>
<p>Most of the time, we don&#8217;t know we are dreaming. But there are golden opportunities when we do know. This explains why I&#8217;ve solved programming problems, composed songs, designed logos, remembered people and places when I was half awake. Ever since I watched that video I have been consciously looking out for that &#8220;lucid moment&#8221; (where I am conscious I am in a dream) and I try and solve problems or brainstorm with myself. Of course the biggest problem is remembering what transpired when I wake up. I do try to jot down these ideas in a little notebook.</p>
<p>Not all dreams are serious. I had a most enjoyable dream last night. I watched some clever and humorous animations just before I went to bed and that set the stage of my dream. I don&#8217;t remember a lot but the last dream sequence showed the importance of accents in a dramatic movie. In my dream, I was approaching God&#8217;s throne MGM style. There was a glorious choir of angels in the background. The clouds parted and this blinding light flashed in front of me. Then I heard a thundering voice with a strong <em>Italian accent</em>:<br />
<em><strong>&#8220;Bow down!  I ema yo-ra Gaaad!&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p>That just killed the moment. And I couldn&#8217;t stop laughing. Why an Italian accent? I don&#8217;t know. It was my lucid mind who wrote the script. Isn&#8217;t it fascinating how our brains can keep the rest of our body in suspense?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t miss your opportunity. Remember, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh&#8217;s dream and he saved humanity. Martin Luther King Jr had a dream and changed American culture. What&#8217;s your lucid dream? Instead of molehills, why not climb the mountaintop?</p>
<p>TGIF people!</p>
<p>Raoul</p>
<p><em>“Don’t put limits on yourself. Not every dream will come true, and not every dream is from God. But when your dreams connect with God’s plans, you’ll find open doors that you never thought you’d see.” – <strong>Max Lucado</strong></em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;We are God&#8217;s masterpiece, created anew in Christ Jesus, so the good that He planned for us a long time ago may become our way of life.&#8221; &#8212; <strong>Ephesians 2:10</strong></em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">The Other Ones</span></strong></h2>
<p>In a few days is Valentines day so let&#8217;s talk about relationships. Obviously, my wife is the most important person in my life. When I cook a meal, I always give her the best part. She may not even realize this and that&#8217;s not important to me. Making her happy is. If that isn&#8217;t love, what is?</p>
<p>But I confess I have another relationship going right now&#8230; two of them. I spend more hours with them than I do with my wife. They&#8217;re constantly with me everyday. When I close my eyes to sleep, they&#8217;re there. When I open my eyes, they&#8217;re there. My wife knows this. She doesn&#8217;t mind. She&#8217;s understanding this way. Actually, she was the one who brought them into my life. I warned her that something like this was going to happen but she insisted. Maybe she knew someone at my age needed something she could not provide. I told her the reason I didn&#8217;t want them was because I would get too attached and&#8230; well, it&#8217;s too late now.</p>
<p>When my wife goes to work, it&#8217;s just me&#8230; and them! Many times I&#8217;m in the middle of my work I can sense them beckoning for attention. Sometimes the temptation is so great I give in. Okay&#8230; okay&#8230; yes, I&#8217;m weak. I give in.</p>
<p>A simple touch, a simple massage and they are assured of my affection. Often, I tell them to let me go do my work but they want more of my touch&#8230; especially the little one.</p>
<p>And they&#8217;re very jealous. Whenever the phone rings, that&#8217;s when they decide to break their silence and compete with the person on the other line.<em> &#8220;Can you please be quiet!&#8221;</em> I shout. But they&#8217;re not that smart. They look at me quizzically wondering why I&#8217;m adding to the noise.</p>
<p>Life has never been the same. I&#8217;ve learned to live with the guilt of spending too much time with them. My wife knows I spend more time with them. The three cats know I spend more time with them.</p>
<p>But time is never enough for the two. What can you expect from Tonka and Tinker? They&#8217;re just two dogs.</p>
<p>Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day! Happy Chinese New Year!</p>
<p>TGIF people!</p>
<p>Raoul</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Doctor</span></strong></h2>
<p>Over two years ago I had pain coming from my lower abdomen. I started to wear a stomach belt hoping it would eventually go away. <em>Wrong!</em> On my next checkup, my doctor felt the bulge and told me I had a hernia &#8212; a hole in my stomach. If you have been reading my TGIF joke email for a while, you might recall I shared my appointment with Doc Hollywood who put a mesh on that sucker. This is a follow up story.</p>
<p>The operation went well. Unfortunately, the pain returned after the anesthesia wore off. My doctor said my discomfort was normal and that the pain would go away after a few weeks. Months rolled by but the pain got worse and I went back to wearing that stomach brace.</p>
<p>I went back to my regular doctor who felt the same hernia plus another one on the other side of my stomach &#8212; &#8220;you have a double hernia!&#8221; he declared. He said I should get an ultrasound before the surgery.</p>
<p>Because of the Covid situation, I never had the appointment made until a few weeks ago. All the while, the pain was on my side and I was wearing this band around my mid section for fear that hole would tear all the way open.</p>
<p>At the ultra sound room, the two attendants jabbed their probe up, down and side to side around my belly It took almost an hour. All the while I&#8217;m pointing where the pain was but all the while also wondering why it didn&#8217;t hurt anymore.</p>
<p>Back at home, I&#8217;m telling my wife I didn&#8217;t feel any pain anymore &#8230; maybe I should cancel the surgery. She looked at me strangely. The next day I get a confirmation from the doctor who analyzed the ultra sound images.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what to tell you Mr. Pascual &#8230; I do not see any hernia.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Doc, you may be right because I don&#8217;t feel any pain anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>He couldn&#8217;t explain it. I couldn&#8217;t explain it. Dare I say I experienced a miracle?</p>
<p><em>The Pharisees (the religious leaders) asked the the <strong>blind man</strong>:  &#8220;how can this Jesus, a sinner who did not follow our religious laws, perform a miracle that made you see?&#8221; It was illogical, unbelievable, impossible. All the blind man could say was &#8220;I was blind but now I see.&#8221; (John 9)</em></p>
<p>I have no explanation. &#8220;I had a hernia &#8230; but now it&#8217;s gone.&#8221;</p>
<p>Miracles still exist. There is no formula. It is nothing we can boast of. God just gifts it to us. Please don&#8217;t minimize the miracles in your life. When we recognize these heavenly presents, we gain a greater understanding of how amazing HE is and how undeserving WE are. Count your blessings (your family, your work, your health &#8230; I&#8217;m sure there are a lot of them), bask in his warm embrace and share your joy and give hope to those who need it. We have an awesome God.</p>
<p>TGIF people!</p>
<p>Raoul</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Jesus said </em><span class="woj"><em>&#8216;For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.&#8217;</em> ”  &#8212; John 9:39</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">Bazza Kat</span></strong></h2>
<p><strong>&#8220;Bazza-kat?!?</strong>&#8221; asked the Korean hairdresser as she tried to understand my sign language.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Buzz cut! Buzz cut!&#8221;</strong> I said in exasperation.<strong> &#8220;I want a buzz cut!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>This was the 4th occasion I tried to explain how my wife wanted my hair cut. The previous 3 attempts, I thought she understood my instruction but to my disappointment, I didn&#8217;t get what I wanted. I could have told her to continue to cut till she got it right but I hated to spoil her &#8220;masterpiece.&#8221; It wasn&#8217;t bad really. I mean, I could live with it &#8230; I kinda liked it &#8230; well, actually I didn&#8217;t like buzz cuts. I liked what Miss Kim did.</p>
<p>But this time I wanted to please my wife. This day I decided to put my foot down &#8230; my head was literally on the line and it was hands down the obvious choice because of my thinning hair. (What a weird set of body part metaphors).</p>
<p>Fortunately, there was a bi-lingual Korean guy on the chair beside me and he explained it to her. He even showed her a downloaded photo and she seemed to finally get it.</p>
<p>So she started to &#8220;buzz&#8221; my sides away. But when she started combing my top, I realized what was really going on. Little Miss Kim had understood me even during the very first time I asked for a buzz cut. This sneaky lady really wanted to preserve my top curls at all cost. In her mind, I looked better with bangs. So I had to say<strong> &#8220;No! Enough! What you did to my sides, you do to the top!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-22834" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/43-Years.jpg" alt="never went to sleep in 43 Years" width="288" height="317" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/43-Years.jpg 288w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/43-Years-273x300.jpg 273w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px" />Some people are so opinionated &#8230; so narrow-minded, that they refuse to listen to the other side. (Even when their opinion is about someone else&#8217;s property). No matter the facts, no matter the logic, they refuse to entertain other views. They don&#8217;t realize that the other person may be right. I should know because when I looked at my new buzz cut in the mirror, that person who liked the buzz cut was me. Be honest &#8230; is it you?</p>
<p>TGIF people!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">A New Day in America</span></strong></h2>
<p>First of all, thanks for your concern about my health last week. The short of it was my blood pressure went up and the meds took it down too fast for my body to adjust and got me nauseus. I was bed-ridden from Friday afternoon until Monday evening. Even now I still feel woozy. Not used to this because I rarely get sick. Anyway, getting better everyday.</p>
<p>The mood in the White House changed on Inauguration day. The smiles and grimaces in people&#8217;s mouths 4 years ago switched places. The mainstream media was filled with festivity while the alternative news outlets were relatively quiet and behaved.</p>
<p>I listened to the speeches with objectivity (at least I think I did). And I realized inaugural speeches have some things in common.</p>
<ol>
<li>All incoming Presidents are in disbelief that they are actually going to control the world.</li>
<li>They have generous hearts and promise they will be the President of all people and not just the ones who voted for them. And they promise to unite the parties.</li>
<li>They promise complete transparency.</li>
<li>The whole family of the elected officials are there in attendance and sometimes we get to see the whole <em>kaboodle</em> for the first time and in all their fashion statements.</li>
<li>The first family&#8217;s dirty laundry are not usually displayed &#8230; <em>yet</em>. No one wants to spoil the party.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s mostly always cold and the sun only starts warming the place near the end of the ceremonies. I ask myself, why not choose a warmer season? Why does it have to be in the first month?</li>
<li>But above all, despite the hostility of the elections, there is awe that America&#8217;s constitution is still preserved. Few countries can say they have a peaceful <em>coup d&#8217;etat</em>.</li>
</ol>
<p>I for one wish all the best for the new President. I think everyone should give him a chance. Whether one is in the winning or the losing side, we are all still Americans. I like to believe we love our country and want what&#8217;s best for future generations. Our facts and our approach to success is just different.</p>
<p>Some say a good egg is cooked &#8220;over easy&#8221; and some like it &#8220;sunny side up.&#8221;  If you&#8217;re the cook, you decide what&#8217;s for breakfast. And if you don&#8217;t eat the food, you starve.</p>
<p>I like the video Don shares below. It shows how one instrument and different skills can create beautiful music.</p>
<p>Be safe, be healthy, and remember: Cooperation is always more powerful than competition. TGIF people! God bless America!</p>
<p>Raoul</p>
<p>&#8220;If GRACE depends on our cooperation, then it is no longer GRACE.&#8221;<br />
&#8212; Martin Luther</p>

<p><em>Thanks to Mel of Washington, DC  for sharing this joke.</em></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22790" src="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Supermarket-Conspiracy.jpg" alt="TGIF Joke of the Week: Supermarket Conspiracy" width="504" height="1626" srcset="https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Supermarket-Conspiracy.jpg 504w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Supermarket-Conspiracy-93x300.jpg 93w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Supermarket-Conspiracy-317x1024.jpg 317w, https://travelingboy.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Supermarket-Conspiracy-476x1536.jpg 476w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px" /></p>

<p>Thanks to Don of Kelowna, BC</p>
<p><p class="bdaia-padding"style="padding-left:4%!important;padding-right:4%!important;"><em>The memories this video invokes.</em></p></p>
<p><p class="bdaia-padding"style="padding-left:4%!important;padding-right:4%!important;"><em>When I was lying on the gurney while being wheeled into the operating theater at 7 am for my quad bypass the anesthesiologist was standing at the door and stopped me to ask what my name was.  After I replied he said. &#8220;Good morning, Mr. Copeland.&#8221;  Then, looking down at his clipboard, he continued, &#8220;Ah, yes, you&#8217;re in for the sex change operation.&#8221;</em></p></p>
<p><p class="bdaia-padding"style="padding-left:4%!important;padding-right:4%!important;"><em>I didn&#8217;t really laugh at that moment but have done so many times since.  And I&#8217;ve often wondered whether he was trying to gauge by my reaction just how much juice to put into my drip. –– Don</em></p></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Video: <em>Bolero On One Cello</em></span></span></strong></p>
<p>Thanks to Don of Kelowna, BC</p>
<p><p class="bdaia-padding"style="padding-left:4%!important;padding-right:4%!important;"><em>Never really cared for Ravel&#8217;s Bolero. It became so popular after it was featured in the movie &#8220;10&#8221; with Bo Derek that I cringed every time I heard it. I once read that it is being played somewhere in the world every 15 seconds.</em></p></p>
<p><p class="bdaia-padding"style="padding-left:4%!important;padding-right:4%!important;"><em>So I was surprised that this clever single-instrument performance could capture my interest, but perhaps it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s a parody and doesn&#8217;t take itself too seriously.</em></p></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">Weak Week</span></strong></h2>
<p>I&#8217;m not feeling well. No, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s Covid. I don&#8217;t have the usual symptoms like the loss of taste, smell, coughing, difficulty of breathing, high temperature &#8230; I just feel weak. Been feeling like this since Saturday. I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;ll be having a TELE-health appointment via zoom at 9:30 this morning.</p>
<p>I may be a little behind but despite my sluggishness I accomplished a lot of work. But I need to shorten this edition because I need to rest Don’t worry. Life is still good..</p>
<p>Be safe, be healthy, and remember: A good laugh and a good sleep are the two best cures for anything. TGIF people!<br />
Raoul</p>
<p>&#8220;Health is not valued until sickness comes.&#8221;<br />
