Kevin had a challenging day. . Ah, Friday the 13th. A day already infamous for bad luck, and this one decided to make an entrance right at dawn.
It all started with the alarm clock. A normal, routine thing, right? Not today. Today, my reflexes apparently thought I was a ninja. I reached out to silence that obnoxious beep, but instead of gracefully tapping it, I sent it soaring off the nightstand. The poor clock hit the floor with a crash that sounded like it had just lost a fight with gravity—and my bedside table. Pieces everywhere. But hey, at least the noise stopped.
Still groggy, I shuffled my way to the bathroom, hoping for a nice, warm wake-up shower. You know, something soothing to set the day right. I turned the hot water tap, and, surprise! The handle decided it had had enough of this life and came off in my hand. Brilliant. No big deal, I thought. I can handle this—until I realized what awaited me: a freezing cold shower. Fantastic. Nothing says Good Morning quite like ice-cold water splashing over your sleepy body.
Shivering and teeth chattering, I finally made my way to the kitchen, ready to warm up with my beloved morning coffee. But, as fate would have it, my trusty coffee cup—the one I’ve used for years, my loyal sidekick through thick and thin—chose this moment to end our relationship. As I went to lift it to my lips, the cup’s handle betrayed me. It came off in my hand like some kind of tragic breakup scene. The rest of the cup, along with my precious coffee, crashed to the floor. I was left standing there, heartbroken, holding nothing but the handle, while my caffeinated dreams pooled on the tile.
At this point, I was beginning to feel like the universe was playing a cruel joke. My solution? Go back to bed. Yes, that seemed like the safest option. A reset button for the day. But as soon as I got comfortable under the blankets, nature called. With a sigh of resignation, I dragged myself out of bed and headed to the bathroom, feeling wary of any further betrayal by household objects.
I stood there, staring at the porcelain throne. My brain flooded with suspicion. After the day's events, I couldn't help but wonder what would go wrong this time. Would the handle break? The tank explode? Or would it be some bizarre incident involving me getting stuck somehow? I stood frozen, not daring to make the first move.
Twenty minutes passed, and I was still there, just staring, wondering if my bad luck would continue—or if this time, I'd finally win. Friday the 13th had already taken enough from me.
It’s only 10 a.m. What could possibly go wrong next?
Ever since 1813, "Friday the 13th" has been a challenging day for some. . if only in their minds. For Kevin, today. . well, things became challenging from the start! But, he got through it and its SMOOTH SAILING in Costa Rica from now on!

We Don't Squirm as Much as We Used to. .
My wife, Sammy and I used to have a fear of spiders, snakes and other little bugs that inhabit this earth along side of our 8 billion friends and neighbors! It would be safe to say that most of us humans do not care too much for the creepy crawlies that wander too close to us at times. Here in Costa Rica, it's a more common occurrence. It's not unusual to see a little spider on your curtains, a little lizard in your sink or a little snake at the front door. It's just a part of life here. We've learned to become ONE with nature and live with the fact that we're not in charge! They outnumber us! It's all good and it's an integral part of the Pura Vida Lifestyle!
We're Livin' Casual Now Here in Costa Rica. .
My wife, Sammy and I had a closet full of clothes in our old life in Vancouver. We stayed up with the styles. . she had dozens of pairs of shoes and I had at least 20 or so. . Wingtips, Loafers, Deck Shoes, Tennis Shoes, Oxford, Derby and Monk Strap! Sammy had skirts, dresses and tops of all colors and fabrics, and they were all hung in order of light to dark and casual to cocktail hour! Thirty-plus years ago, we downsized, to say the least. We moved to San Jose, Costa Rica and liquidated quickly. Now, we both collect sandals and shorts. I don't even own a pair of dress shoes anymore. . and Sammy's collection of high heels are nowhere to be found! Just flippin' and floppin' for the rest of our lives! And this, my friends, is an integral part of the PURA VIDA Lifestyle!
We Love Our Many Flavors of Smoothies that We Create. .
My husband, Kevin and I always loved milk shakes! Up in Canada over 30 years ago, we loved to go to the local ice cream shop every Saturday afternoon. . chocolate was Kevin's favorite flavor and wow. . strawberry was mine! I don't think we every heard of 'smoothies' back in the 90's! Nowadays in Costa Rica, with the dozens of tropical fruits available, we always try new combinations. And we bought a new blender, so we're ready to go! When you're here in Costa Rica, you can have so much fun creating new flavors! The sky's the limit! And, you can be assured that you're drinking something VERY HEALTHY!
Lazy Days are Required Here in Paradise. .
My wife, Sammy and I used to have to always stay busy. We weren't happy unless we were out to a movie, out to lunch or out and about! We all get into this busy groove throughout our lives. We have to "GO OUT" and spend money for a "GOOD TIME." Here in Costa Rica, we have learned that we don't need those outside influences to enjoy our day. A cup of hot coffee or tea. . watching a sunrise. . a couple glasses of red wine watching a sunset. . tending to the HUGE basil plant in our garden or wrestling with the cat. . we enjoy those lazy days at home. We're happy with the simple things. . and this is magic. I almost forgot to tell you about our Saturday ritual of preparing a big pot of soup with all the wonderful ingredients from our backyard garden. There's always some left over for our neighbors! Now, THIS is living the PURA VIDA Lifestyle indeed!
