happy trails

Wow.

This is the last post here in this blogging space known as Couch Surfing at 70. I have a sadness with that. Even as this address on the web has become a bit broken here and there as these last nearly six years have come, and gone. Even as the expense of maintaining this ‘home’ no longer makes sense. There’s a sadness.

I’m well past 70 today. And, first with Covid, followed by big changes in my life, I have not asked anyone, anyplace, “Can I couch surf?” for quite awhile. So, the sign on the front door here, which has always simply said “Welcome”, fits nicely in my backpack – which is my life – and can, and will, come along with me to my new address.

Which is this – 148curiousthings.com

If you have been a loyal, devoted follower and reader here, here at Couch Surfing, I hope you will come along as I settle in just a couple of streets over. Chances are I’ll be inviting you personally over the next little while.

I have learned much about myself and my place in the world since that November morning in a basement in Portland, Oregon, simply by showing up here most of those weekdays. Maybe even grown up a little. There’s been a sense of community through all of it. For sure.

Thank you. And Welcome.
