Where We Are

Way back on Feb. 8 my blog post was about the decision I needed to make that day regarding my bathroom, although I wasn’t sure what decision needed to be made. I guess nothing really had to be made, because Feb. 8 came and went, and so have a lot of days since. This bathroom […]

The Ides of March (More or Less)

I would like to say before I start this that for some reason I was assuming today, not yesterday, was March 15. It’s part of my calendar fluidity issues. We know of the “Ides of March” probably mostly because of Shakespeare, who famously warns to “beware” them (or it, I suppose, even if it sounds […]

Nomads

Yesterday I had somewhere to go, so it was not a big deal that I had to be out of the house ahead of a realtors’ tour at 9 a.m. Today I have nowhere to go, and I still have to be out of the house around 9 a.m. All right, it’s not that I […]

For Sale

Well, we’re live. There’s a sign next to our mailbox (the only place Josh could find to put it in all this snow), there are pictures at clarkeagency.net, and many of the local realtors are going to be touring this morning at 9, which means this entry will be posted really early or really late, […]

Stuff

Wenona and Rocky Warren ran an aerial photography business for many years. Later in her life, Wenona came to work at the Gunnison Country Times, where she took very good care of a younger me. They owned at least one hangar out at the airport, and I say “at least one,” because the one I […]

Weathering Lows

We need the moisture. We need the moisture. This must become our mantra; otherwise, the weather might depress us. I read a book on witchcraft (Wiccan philosophy — it may have been called The Magic Power of Witchcraft) many, many (many) years ago, so many that all I remember is that it suggested that outcomes […]

Burning Daylight

Was it Snow White who wanted us to whistle while working, which really meant cleaning up after her short friends? And that ever-efficient Mary Poppins thought we could make a game out of picking up. Well, these women are clearly insane. Lynn and I spent the weekend in full industry, or house husbandry. (Not that […]

Saving Daylight

This was the most profound thing I read yesterday about Daylight Savings Time: it really is just shifting daylight, not saving it. The most admonishing thing I read was: it’s saving, not savings, time. So there. Put you in your place. Or me in mine, since I have used that S carelessly, with abandon, for […]

Free Falling

The sun is finally shining for a morning, which means it’s not snaining for the first time in what feels like all year. The last couple of weeks have been rather relentless and wet, and there’s more of that in our predicted future, but for one shining moment, we have blue sky and sun. And […]

Marrakesh

Marrakesh has lived with us for nearly two years now, and we still don’t have each other figured out. We were down to a single cat, the ever-helpful Na Ki’o (yesterday I spilled his food, and he did his very best, rushing in to scoop up food with his mouth before I could pick it […]
