My Village in Greece


My favorite place in the world. I spent many years of my life here.




It's been a few years now since I've been back as its all about the daily grind now but hopefully in a few years I'll be back. My brother is out there now and sent me the pic. The town is at the bottom of the canyon with the Preveza peninsula in the background.

  1. They just arrested some teenager who was planning to blow up "Freedom High School" in Florida.

    The Freedom High School website states "The FREEDOM Vision":

    "The FREEDOM Vision
    Freedom High School will provide a safe and caring environment with an academic focus, which will foster students' growth, responsibility and positive self-esteem to develop motivated, self-disciplined individuals who will reach their academic and career potentials."

  3. I used to live on a beautiful island near Hong Kong called Lamma Island. Our village had its own "Village Idiot" who used to get drunk and walk up-and-down main street with a large iron pot on his head banging it loudly with a large iron spoon and shouting gibberish.
