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

Feelin’ Husky
I wanted to write (which I just did), “but not Ferlin Husky. If you don’t know, and care to, he has an entry on Wikipedia. So, just one more piece of evidence of just how ancient I truly am. Now that we’ve established that I’m not Ferlin. I am in Nebraska. Woke up after a… Continue reading

Mighty MO!
For those who have read a few of my blog posts, especially the ones from my Out West trip of last year, you’ll likely be aware of my state to get a sort of adventure rig setup for more trips like that. Well, I have begun. Oh I sort of began with my First Date… Continue reading

Indiana Calling
To kick off this Colorado trip, I thought I’d swing by my cuz David’s house. And the trip was going sooo smoothly. Until it wasn’t. And that was about thirty minutes from my destination. Spittin’ distance we’d say down in the mountains. An Appalachian storyteller would start off like… “I was a gittin’ it along… Continue reading

Does anyone else have a SOMA addiction?
Quote What’s SOMA? Oh c’mon. I know you know what it is. It’s a cold-weather thing, and I have it bad. Sure I get SAD as well, but SOMA is what kills me. Personally I’ve had a sluggish start to my warm-weather activities. I’ve only cut my grass twice. We’ve not had as much rain… Continue reading

Thursday May 7th, for three hours in the afternoon, I was there for it at least. This is my first writer’s conference, and therefore my first time at the compendium of… Continue reading

Progress so far (ThrillerFest that is)
I have just published my post that was going to ThrillerFest. Sorry for the delay. You see, the first morning I was feeling a little… verklempt. I could tell you were all talking amongst yourselves. This being my first foray into the wide world of writing, the disorientation I was feeling was a bit overwhelming.… Continue reading

Time is relative… ain’t that the truth
One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.” – John Green “I need a name for this ink … A name for the feeling you get when you see someone again. After many… Continue reading

Some things last
In a follow up to an addendum on a previous post’s miscellaneous closing section… And without further ado… In conclusion. Sitting in the airport waiting for my flight and listening to the playlist in the bar. An 80s song came on, Centerfold, and a young-ish person started bopping to it. It is all about the… 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
