A City within A City
I was lucky enough to pop over to the Tower of London for lunch. Yes, lunch was so nice to have the privilege of doing so. I was invited, and my host has a membership in the Palaces. For more information, check out https://www.hrp.org.uk/membership/#gs.lybhqg

Milkmaids Passage
Thousands of people walk through Green Park and rarely glance around at Milkmaid's Passage. Why would they? You can't walk through it anyways. However, the name captures your attention as you walk past and dare to look behind through the gated off narrow alley. Plus, the presence f the King's men is enough to stop anyone from lingering around for too long.

The King’s Favourite Abode
Clarence House is a royal residence in London, located on The Mall, near St. James’s Palace. Built between 1825 and 1827 to the designs of John Nash for Prince William Henry, Duke of Clarence (later King William IV), it has been a key home for senior members of the British royal family. Compared to other royal palaces, its relatively modest design reflects a comfortable, domestic style, with a pale stucco exterior and elegant interiors.

Travelling to Iran Beyond Global Politics
Known to many in Europe and the U.S. as Persia because of Greek historians, the endonym Iran is the actual ancient name used thousands of years ago. It established a national identity so strong that even the advent of Islam could not overshadow it. Modern Iran has not forgotten its ancient roots. Despite thousands of years of invasions by Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Mongols, and Turks, many Iranians still claim their ancient heritage left behind by Cyrus the Great. It is less about racial self-identification and more about social reform. By embarking on Iran Tours, you can get a glimpse of the legacy of ancient Iran in the still-beating heart of its citizens , like a living monument.

TATE BRITAIN
I walked into the Tate Modern in late autumn 2024, expecting to see the 80s Photographs Exhibition, but was politely told it was at the Tate Britain near Vauxhall. Even Londoners can get this one mixed up. So, I got to visit Tate Britain when the opportunity arose.

The Royal Docks
I was most impressed by the refreshing change around the regenerated Royal Victoria Docks. I last visited the Excel Centre many moons ago and saw extensive work around the area. The finished outcome is impressive. Let me tell you more about Royal Victoria Docks

Normandy, France
If you have seen the movie Saving Private Ryan, the first ten minutes of the beach landing were traumatic for those who watched it, especially for WWII veterans. One of those veterans was my childhood barber, Ernie Barone, a U.S. Coast Guard Amphibious Corps member who drove the landing ships full of Soldiers onto the beaches on January 6, 1944 (D-Day).

The Homeless Make North Austin MORE Romantic
You know what really irks me? People who hate the homeless. Like, you can't think of a better group of people to judge than those truly doing what they love with their lives? People hate on them bumming around, but at the same time, they hate their jobs. They hate their bosses and their co-workers and their clients. They hate their wives and their kids and wish they were just out doing drugs and having sex with strangers. Well, pretty ironic that a bunch of lousy hypocrites whining about nothing hate the people who do what they want to do. But really, it is a tale as old as time. How many times has one group enslaved or oppressed another group because they were secretly jealous? War on the trans community anyone? Slavery anyone? Jim Crow anyone?
