I've Been Away For Five Months, September 6, 2020

-

Thank you for visiting tglf.ca recently. I've been adding posts to amcpir.blogspot.com for the last five months. Please have a look if you wish; I think there is some value there.


We've included some of the meals we've produced in the oven and the Ninja Foodie that you might enjoy. But more importantly my son Rob and I celebrated our birthdays yesterday just with the two of us. We didn't take a cruise like we did in 2018 which is chronicled in this site, we just met and had a delightful Open Cork lunch and talked a whole lot about networking, getting ready for promotion in business, personal functions and more just like we did when he was 17 years old. Rob is 46 and living his life just the way he has structured it--and that is fine with me.
I spent an hour reading my own work/posts on our Back-To-Back cruises in December 10, 2019 to January 30, 2020. In years to come my hope is that this material will interest my grand and great grand children and so on. The concept of tglf.ca I owe to my oldest son Greg who planted the thought and set up the site for me originally in 1999. The amcpir.blogspot.com was my idea midway through 2019.
Terryl and I will be doing more social distancing this afternoon with Pierre and Deborah Alcide in their backyard. I hope everyone does the same: it's safe and keeps one connected with their close friends during Covid-19 and all of its world changing protocols to keep us alive and well, Over 885,040 deaths have been recorded worldwide; the USA has 188,000 and Canada has 9,145 as of September 6, 2020. We are told that  the second wave is coming for sure and that we must not let our guard down in the fall of 2020 when the Flu Season hits us with its broadside along side the coronavirus killer.
I regret reporting my right knee went awol after a day of golfing with added exuberance. Performancegolfzone.com encouraged me to invest in their program that had produced excellent results. I was hitting it father, straighter, and chipping and putting better when it happened. I put a little more into the swing than I should have and wammo, it happened. I started to limp and knew I was in trouble. I'm on Hemp Oil and Cream and wearing a knee brace and had to delist myself from the club championships.
Brampton Golf Club went ahead without me and handed out the trophies on September 7, 2020:

 July 4, 2020 Our Azamara Cruise December 9, 2019 to January 28, 2020 Toronto to Dubai to Mumbai to Cape Town to Toronto. We met a low key but effective cruise salesperson onboard Azamara Pursuit in January, 2019 who tried to whet our whistle for another ship board adventure. That's this one, or rather two going back to back from Dubai UAE to Mumbai India to Cape Town South Africa in 35 days. We'll spend several days in Dubai and then visit Doha Qatar, Sir Bani Yas, Muscat Oman, Abu Dhabi UAE and dock in Mumbai. We'll be overnight in Mumbai and then visit Cochin India, Victoria Seychelles, Praslin Seychelles, Mombasa Kenya, Zanzibar Tanzania, Maputo Mozambique, Richards Bay South Africa, Durban South Africa, Port Elizabeth South Africa and Cape Town South Africa. In total, if all goes well we will be away from our beloved Port Credit for 50 days. August 15, 2019 The plan has begun, not the least of this is preparing to pay for it. One third of that is done and we wait for f

December 22, 2019 Our tour to the Grand Mosque was exceptional in that it is perhaps the most important thing that one must see when visiting the sister city to Dubai, and that is the capital city Abu Dhabi in the UAE. Our driver took us through tunnels and over bridges that appeared to be quite new, and as is the case, spotless. He detailed the area’s relevancy to the Ruler's master plan as well as its Islamic religious dominance of their population which is 20% by birthright, with the expats running at 80%. He talked about the young adult when getting married is given a  significant amount to have the wedding of their dreams, a full amount of money to buy their first home, and a few additional contributions to get their young marriage off on the right foot. We are amazed at what appears to be factoids about their country. They don’t pay taxes, but if they can afford to give 2.5% of their earned or inherited net worth, it is a one time only donation to charity, and their me

January 6, 2020 Azamara Quest left Mahé Island with a bang last night; they did it with a huge party that began with a fabulous Buffet dinner on the Pool Deck complete with local musicians and dancers that performed well into the night. Everyone seemed to be dancing except Terryl and me: we were bushed from the tour we had throughout Mahé and hit the sack by 22:00. Today, once again the sun rose in a majestic sky with billowing clouds overlaying the island of Praslin, and we were on the tender by 10:00 sharp. After a fifteen minute 100 passenger tender ride and an Azamara arranged air conditioned bus (the temperature had to be 88 degrees F) for another 15 minutes we were on the pristine beach that put our Maché Beach into second place. At this time I cannot include photographs of sights we have seen, sensational water colours from beach sand, turquoise water, slowly developing light to darker blues that melt against the tropical skies of this Paradise. But in time both of my App
