A little trip…
All trips, for me at least, seem a tad daunting at the outset. And for the few days prior. But I usually settle into the new routine fairly quickly. This trip however had some significance. Of course I’m talking about (ad nauseum, sorry) my ThrillerFest writer’s conference. If you’ve read my previous posts you’ll be… Continue reading

Geological observation whilst at writer’s conference
Looking out the window I see that I am surrounded by (and inside) a very tall building. Many tall buildings. And I am reminded as to why this is possible. Thank you Manhattan Schist. Okay, now back to the regularly scheduled conference. Marv 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

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

Close encounters of the nerd kind
Nerding out over so many things. My lodgings for this segment of my trip, my location, and another new area for me out west. First my lodgings. This is just so cool. I was so happy to have found this place. If you find yourself up here, check out Devils Tower Tipi Camping. Before I… Continue reading
