I’m still finding my footing with this recap series of posts about where we’ve been in the Airstream: which areas to cover, how much to repost and how much to summarize, whether to bother editing photos, that kind of thing. After the Everglades and southern Alberta, I figure it’s time for some desert, but there […]
What I Found – Second Peek
A warm and smart writer I follow, Kari, keeps her blog called A Grace Full Life stocked with lists, which, if you don’t read her, seems like a shortcut to thinking. I hate those kinds of lists. Hers are amazing, though. Personal and beautiful and inspiring. One of them is just photos, and she calls […]
My Twilight Zone 28 Hours
Today is Thursday. My Tuesday and Wednesday were like a sandwich, with bread made of trivia games and filling made of thick-cut memories, gratefulness, high-end irritation, and a slather of strangeness. It tasted good, though. Tuesday 2:00 Tracy and I show up at the house with an inflatable mattress and linens, and I proceed to […]
Grateful and Proud: The Everglades
I was going to save this location for a later date, but we’re having our first cold snap here in Wisconsin and I miss the warmth already. The Everglades, however, is not about warmth. It’s a vanishing, unique ecosystem that I’m lucky to have visited multiple times over the first winter we were on the […]
Grateful and Proud: Writing-on-Stone
Here starts a new series in the blog (yes, I know, yet another, but I hope this one will stick). I’m calling it Grateful and Proud because it’s a retrospective of special places I’ve been in the Airstream, but not an “I’m so sad that I gave that up” but a “Yay look what I […]
Add “What if” to Our House Remodel
Here’s the sitch. That leaves us with a window to get work done in. But, Our search has turned up additional big questions: We have interviewed (aka walked around the house and talked with for hours on end) two electricians and four general contractors. That’s all been disheartening, to say the least. One guy smelled […]
Is the Shadow Only a Small and Passing Thing?
I woke up this morning with Tolkien in my ears, specifically my favorite recorded books version of The Lord of the Rings by Rob Inglis. If you enjoy listening to books and don’t know this version, I recommend him strongly. Inglis beautifully voices the many peoples of Middle Earth, singing deep as a dwarf, high […]
Musings Four Months after Calling It Quits
On the non-linear nature of time, in my life, at least.
Leafy Daytrip and New Podcast Episode
First off, Finn and I have released the third episode of our podcast, How Many Times Do I Have to Tell You? that we made when I visited him a few weeks ago. This time we talk about how we each got our differing music tastes, with him developing a penchant for genres pretty foreign […]
Banjo’s Resistance
You guys have asked so nicely how Banjo is adapting, and she really is doing fine. Don’t ask her though; according to her the world is just not right. And, she has her subtle (and heck, overt) ways of letting us know that we’re not in the Airstream, we’re not spending most of our time […]
