Taking InRefinement Seriously January 31 -- March 31, 2025

  I created InRefinement Inc . and this Blog several years ago. Its last entry was inked on  March 29, 2025 when I was thinking about personal changes (I called the experiment InRefinement) that I might consider during the last years of my life. [B ut ultimately, refinement is a journey rather than a destination. It's an ongoing commitment to improvement challenging us to elevate the ordinary into the extraordinary. Copilot]   The last entry was written March 25 wherein my closing remarks on the disaster that follow Donald Trump's pronouncements has started a Tariff War with Mexico, and Canada, and Greenland, and with China. If you agree or disagree with my assertions please take whatever action you deem appropriate. The previous entry written on March 17 was  not by me, but by the acclaimed political activist American Ralph Nader who at 91 years of age is as feisty as ever. Mr. Nader has considerable clout in consumer protection and American government re...

The first step on board AC890 to Rome   Let me start by saying Terryl and I have known each other for twenty-five years. We started 2023 with a plan to do something special for our Anniversary Year. Ten months preceded this symbolic first step where we have enjoyed Canada with friends and family; all the while the "travel itch" tugged at our vital organs just like it has from the very beginning for Terryl and during our time together, for me. With 32 hours remaining prior to takeoff on AC890 to Rome we are vacuuming plastic bags of clothing and sealing them shut into our luggage consisting of one checked bag and two carryons. (It worked before and will again.) We are fortunate to be flying J Class to Rome and then Venice on a High Speed train on Oct 17 where we will check into a hotel in a Murano former glass blowing factory that will be our base for three nights before boarding Regent Splendor.

Dear Reader: Welcome back you two. I've been waiting in the wings of Air Canada, so to speak. I believe you settled on this Azamara Cruise about six months ago when Sandy and Cathy from Scotland dropped the hint. I'm glad you did, and when Ray and Christian decided to get on board we all knew that the party was on. Terryl looks very fine and you don't appear to age either.  [The above is written by Alexander McPope. Every once in a while he'll open the computer and write something, but, most of this copy will come from me. Thank you for your interest in this story and others supplied by InRefinement Inc., and  Gary L. McDonald.] **Please take note that the post below - this explanation - will gradually appear after the next, and the last post will become first. Confused? Whenever I start a new post it will begin directly under this underlined copy . Therefore, when you read this you'll be starting at the end and finishing at the beginning of this voyage. Agreed?
