Just Wondering

How brave do I need to be to start the real writing?

hard news

what do you say when someone calls to tell you their son has died this very day in a car crash? I am at a loss for words. Instead, I put up photos of a new mosaic. It is a tree, growing, and for some reason that seems an appropriate response right this minute.

pondering travel

So it has been almost a year since this trip to New Orleans. I am feeling the pull. The need to move, explore, travel. I know the Philippines trip will be here in the blink of an eye, but right THIS MINUTE, February feels a lifetime away. Maybe that is partly why I think I should hop a plane to Texas...though I am sure the real reason has to do with wanting to see the wildlife there.

Could it be this easy? First entries...

Well, I am in bed on a sunny morning, having slept in after a long run of too much going on in my life. I thought I might ride to the coast today, sneak up on the Shaver family at Ft Stevens and invite myself to their camping lunch. But the computer says it is raining over those hills. Sounds as though I might ride east instead.

As soon as I figure out how all this works.
