2026 Book Bingo Challenge
I’m not on social media often. As a matter of fact I’ve weaned myself off them all. Well, except one. The hell site that is tumblr. I’ve been on tumblr for ages, and it’s the one that I may keep around. For instance. I saw a Book Bingo challenge posted for 2026 (thank you @macrolit!),… Continue reading

Goin’ to California…
With an aching in my legs! I’m in San Jose California for the Serena (IMDB) premier at the Cinequest film festival. I’m really excited to see this movie. Not to name drop, but I’m friends with the screenwriters. What’s up with my legs? It seems that PG&E had some maintenance to do at my hotel… Continue reading

I’m late… I’m late…
And it seems that perpetually this week. Last Sunday the continuing hubris of humanity again appeared to steal yet another hour from my life. Some will say that they will give it back when the cold weather starts to return, but I say… my body will have forgotten that by then. And probably just sleep… Continue reading

Book Bingo Begins… 2026 edition
In retrospect I think I misnamed this little challenge. It’s not really any sort of bingo is it. No it’s not. And yet… what’s in a name? We’ll just end that there. The Alchemist Classic novel by an author whose name starts with A, B, C, D, or E A much touted book, and one… Continue reading

Any day fishing…
As the old saying goes. And that day it was truer than ever. I have been fishing in my life, but it’s been a while. Yesterday I amended that situation. I recently enjoyed a guided fishing trip and tutorial on fly fishing from High Flying Flies out of Bristol. Here’s a quick recap. The day… Continue reading

You know that feeling?
The one where you really have to pee? While driving that is. Ten miles from home, you’re doing alright. But with each mile it gets harder to hold. When you pass the old oak tree that’s leaning way out over the road you know you’re close. And that twinge hits. Oh no, you think. Am… Continue reading

Not an ashhole…
An Ashfall. The kind that spews out of a volcano. And it happened around twelve million years ago. Give or take. It also happened in my old stomping grounds. Idaho. Southwestern Idaho. The cool thing is that it’s not exactly where it used to be. Twelve million years ago that is. I’m not the oldest… Continue reading

Just like Mr. Gump
I’m on vacation. But this vacation is coming to a close. I left Keystone South Dakota this morning bright and early. I rode north and got in I-90 in Rapid City. As I headed east I noticed the traffic picking up. Still nothing as compared to back east, but much more traffic than I’ve been… Continue reading

Everybody needs one
A day off that is. Due to the logistics I mentioned in my previous article, I checked everything off my list yesterday. So today is relaxing and doing some laundry. I’ve been wearing either dirty clothes or new clothes so far on this trip. Such a dirty boy. Also I’ll be writing about some things… Continue reading

Don’t Rush Me…
What a day. Leaving Devils Tower and its environs was a little emotional. What a wonderful visit there. I’ve already swooned over the tipi camping and the tower, so I’ll mind my keyboard usage. But before I leave there — blog-wise — let me add one thing. Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in… Continue reading
