					<description><![CDATA[I am long overdue in writing this update, but I just haven&#8217;t felt motivated or organized enough to do so. So this will be very short. The lot in Barotac Viejo we were on the verge of purchasing didn&#8217;t work out. Everything was fine with the two lots we were going to purchase, but there &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2025/01/07/a-quick-update/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "A Quick Update"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Writing this sure feels familiar. Was it four years ago I wrote here about the urge to buy land? In fact, that was also in October! That was when I purchased a piece of land up on the Colorado Plateau in eastern Arizona, just below the Navajo Nation. I&#8217;ve been thinking about that today since &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2024/10/24/here-we-go-again/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Here We Go Again!"</span></a>]]></description>

We came out with a cart full of shopping bags, ordered a Grab car to bring us home, and when the car &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2023/12/23/some-random-observations/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Some Random Observations"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This morning I hiked out to Laurel Falls, and on the drive out to the trailhead I stopped for gas. As usual, I was going to fill the truck up, but as I was pumping gas I thought &#8220;No, wait. You&#8217;re not going to use a whole tank of gas before you leave here!&#8221; So &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2023/10/11/fill-er-up-no-wait-dont/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Fill &#8216;Er up!

I bought the tickets for my flights almost 3 months ago, so at the time it felt like I had forever to get &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2023/09/05/50-days/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "50 Days"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Have I complained on this blog about the sorry state of pizza in most of the United States? Maybe not. But it is a sorry mess. Having grown up in Connecticut, halfway between New York and Boston, and 20 minutes from Wooster Street in New Haven, I thought everybody had access to great pizza.

					<description><![CDATA[I recently returned from a trip to Iloilo City in the Philippines. I know there are people in the world who get to choose their travel itinerary based on convenience while ignoring cost. I&#8217;m not one of those people. I chose my travel itinerary based on which tickets were cheapest. That being so, our itinerary &#8230; <a href="https://monkeywrenchyourlife.com/2023/06/03/manila-airport/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Manila Airport"</span></a>]]></description>
