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 […]
This Old (Weird) House
When we were trying to find a house to buy, we looked at many beautifully restored old houses, and we even got it in our heads that that was exactly what we wanted. A perfect house. What we ended up buying is a bit of a Frankenhouse (not an exactly fair reference, but it’s a […]
Confessions from a Sticks and Bricks
That last post I wrote was pretty lame: all the what and whens and none of the feelings behind our current transition. Here goes my attempt at getting back to my regular, emotionally driven writing style. Gee, aren’t you excited? You Can Now Buy Our Airstream I found it listed on Copart, and what a […]
“Adjust”? Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That
Prepping for house closing, planning for renovations, buying stuff for the apartment and the house … egads this pretzel is making me thirsty.
What the Cool Kids Are Up To
I never run out of ways to write about spending time with my son, Finn, because he never runs out of cool stuff to share with me: fascinating work projects, interesting friends, off-the-wall hobbies. This past weekend I watched him do an experiment in a real science lab (science!), I went on a walk with […]
