    Inside the Deep

    Part I Since there’s nobody following a calendar, I’m going to call today, Yommer 1st, 1 ND. I’m optimistic, New Dawn is a good name for a hopeful new era. Yommer just sounds funny. There are no options to use celestial objects like they used to, so really this is just up to me. Today… Continue reading

    A Short Story Serial

    As an aspiring writer, I am often thinking of ways to hone my writing skills. I have a few exercises, one being a daily one sentence, where I try to write the best single sentence I can, á la Hemingway. I have another I’ve conjured. This one being an ongoing serial of short pieces. In… Continue reading

    Closer to Home (I’m your Captain)

    Great song, great feeling. The closer to home part that is. I’m nobody’s captain. Lock A campground at Cheatham dam was nice. Allegedly, the name Marvin means friend of the sea, which I extend to any maritime environment. Including the Cumberland River. The little shelf of land the campsite was on tapered gently to the… Continue reading

    One more night…

    One more night…

    Phil Collins had it right. Today had the potential to be a glorious day. The night was cool, and I slept great. The crickets and other night creatures were a soothing lullaby. And then. Frustration and angst. There’s construction going on at the campground, and a swarthy team of redneck construction workers got started at… Continue reading

    On the road again… again

    On the road again… again

    This time, heading back home from the glorious out west 2026 extravaganza. I have to tell you. I am kind of anxious to get home. Now that the Colorado/Wyoming adventure is closed, it’s just driving. And driving is… not that much fun. If I had someone to share witty banter with, it might be better.… Continue reading

    Red Feather Lakes, Part Deux, Part II…

    Red Feather Lakes, Part Deux, Part II…

    Now where was I… Oh yeah, far far from the pit of despair. More the hills of splendor. That’s how cool Red Feather is. I’ve kind of had a nostalgic bent lately. One thing I’ve been vibing on is Kimbro’s Pickin’ Parlor. If you find yourself gravitating anywhere around Franklin Tennessee, do yourself a favor:… Continue reading

    Red Feather Lakes, Part Deux

    Red Feather Lakes, Part Deux

    This year we stayed at the property of some friends of my son Caleb. It was fairly isolated and absolutely beautiful. I took a few pictures, and will share some, but others in my camping group took a lot, I’ll see if they’ll share a few good ones. The folks who own the property have… Continue reading

    Thursday Things (Wild West Edition)

    Thursday Things (Wild West Edition)

    It’s Thursday morning and I’m enjoying some delish coffee. I’m waking up slowly today. I slept well, my sluggishness may be due to my hours in dreamland. I have some chores to do this morning. Laundry, shower, and such. I’ve had an M&M canister filled with quarters in my center console since around 2017; remnants… Continue reading

    What to do in the Wild Wild West…

    What to do in the Wild Wild West…

    The purpose of this trip is family time. And yesterday sort of kicked that off. Had a great reunion. Ethan and Hana gave Korean-themed gifts, They are so sweet and thoughtful. Speaking of gifts, Colorado Caleb gave me a vintage axe! This will come in handy for my boondocking and camping where fires are allowed.… Continue reading

    Finally at my destination

    Finally at my destination

    Western Nebraska and Eastern Wyoming are… Under construction. Nebraska especially. It wasn’t bad. The traffic volume wasn’t high, and the merging was a piece of cake each time. On a grrr scale, I’d give it one snarl. However, twice I saw cropdusting planes doing practice runs. That was amazing to side-eye as I drove on.… Continue reading
