I’ve posted nothing for the last few weeks because I was off doing things. Oh, and I didn’t bring my laptop, and there was no internet in most of the places I’ve been. This is where I used to live from 2000-2008. See the small white roof on the left side of the ridge? That’s [...]

Things I wish all motorists knew about cyclists

Last month a good friend of mine was visiting friends out of town and was hit by a car while trying to ride her bicycle to a local coffee shop. Luckily, she was nearly completely unhurt, though shaken up and with a bit of road rash. But I ride my bicycle to work almost every [...]

It was time to spend a Saturday doing something other than Work on the House. So, we jumped in the plane (at the crack of noon) and headed to Cheyenne. Although a brownish haze blanketed the entire area, it was a good day to look around at the landscape of northern Colorado. The snow brings [...]
Interlude

I traveled to Nashville, TN, for a teaching workshop for librarians. I don’t really know what I was expecting; I’ve been through the town a few times in the 1990s, once for a stopover between Florida and Buffalo at a college friend’s house and another for a conference. I didn’t see much of the area [...]
A trip to an Asian grocery

Back in 2007, when I lived in Seattle for a few months as part of my library school experience, I lived a few blocks from a large grocery store called HT Market. At least, I thought it was a regular grocery store– you know, the kind I was used to. But a trip over there [...]

Back at home after a week’s vacation: a severe lightning storm has knocked the power out and the light is getting a bit too dim to read or unpack efficiently. Normally I might be inclined to complain about this development, but given that our vacation trip started with the car breaking down 45 minutes away [...]
West by Northwest

Last Friday was Bo’s birthday, and I thought we should celebrate with a weekend trip. So, I got off work early and we drove up to Cheyenne, Wyoming for the evening. To get to Wyoming from here, we drove roughly due north for a couple of hours, peeling away from the foothills and flatirons, and [...]
Dogs

While traveling around the country, we had the opportunity to spend time with many dogs. Of course, the pre-eminent dog during our travels was always Joda. In Oregon, we visited Sasha and Gracie’s house first, and I failed to take their portaits. That’s Joda, monopolizing some of their sofa space. Our next stop was at [...]

As I get to the end of the long, wander-y part of this road trip, I am thinking back on all of the beautiful sights we saw: landscapes, seascapes, birds, people we love, vast expanses of [fill in the blank-- sand, trees, water, mountain, or whatever]. I’m sitting in a motel in Radford, Virginia, happy [...]
