It’s been a long time since we’ve taken a road trip, and even longer since we’ve been able to spend the night away from home (you try doing that with a dog, two cats, and fifteen chickens). We figured some day we’d be able to do it though, and TODAY IS THAT DAY. Ahem. It’s only an over-nighter, to visit relatives, but we’re also meeting up with the lady who is my longest-lasting internet…
I’ve been revisiting some old archives in my writing folders, because to be honest, I’ve forgotten a lot of what’s in them. I’d say these particular folders go back about fifteen years, and friends, that’s a lot of writing just sitting there gathering dust. Most of it can just stay there, to be honest. It’s writing that doesn’t really speak to me anymore, and I’m happy to just let it sit there and…
We live in the future now. There are no rules anymore. I’m too tired to post. This totally counts. Goodnight, all!

The fog coming in to work this morning was heavy, which always surprises me, living here in Maine. I assume that it’s normal for this area, but it’s still always a bit of a shock to go outside and not be able to see more than twenty feet in any direction. I’m already on the lookout for deer and wild turkeys and porcupines on the drive to the office. In the fog, I’m on the lookout for… everything.…
It’s morning, just after dawn, which is bad enough, but it’s also Monday, which makes it worse. I don’t hate Mondays in some existential Garfield sort of way, but it’s still a rough way to start the week. The dog is having a morning apparently, and refuses to do all of her morning business outside. She hates Mondays as well, it seems. So do the chickens, who collectively decide that leaving the…
We have a psycho kitty. He’s always been a psycho kitty. We thought he always would be a psycho kitty. Except. Since moving to the woods, he has mellowed considerably. He was never a mean cat, just prone to panic attacks and freaking out over… well, things. Here is a partial list of causes of his freakouts: The dog Loud noises People walking by Strong winds Dust Shadows Sunlight Recently though,…

I subscribe to more podcasts than I have the time to actually listen to, and so I’ve got a large backlog going back several years. Currently, I’m working through mid-2021. Hush. I know I have a problem. You don’t need to point it out. Anyway, what I’m finding both simultaneously charming and soul crushing is how so many people are referring to Trump’s presidency in the past tense: how glad they…
