blogging


  • Improvising

    I’m typing the first blog post on my new laptop, out on the deck in this lovely evening, while Ronnie and Skyler pick mulberries. My lack of blogging has not been a lack of words or photos, but more of a logistical issue that when I’m blogging, I’m stuck at the desktop computer in our…


  • 2:30 in the Morning

    As I sit here eating a bowl of Marshmallow Matey’s (white trash version of Lucky Charms) at 2:30 on Wednesday morning, I’m regretting writing yesterday that I just haven’t had time to blog, because here I am, when I’d rather be sleeping.

  • Shooting Blanks

    I think every blogger can attest to the phenomenon. Every day thoughts run through your head of this great topic to blog today, once you find the time. You imagine how whitty or profound the post would be, but by the time you find the time, if that ever happens, you can’t remember what it…
