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

First date with Stella…
Stella! Stellllllaaaaa! Well, friends and neighbors, here is a wee post about my (finally) camping glamping preparations for 2026. I now have my rig and basic gear for my home away from home. It did wind up raining most of the night. A downpour at times. And guess what? I did sleep well. A little… Continue reading

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
