I don't know if there's ever been a time since I started this blog where I missed writing during any given month. And there was even a major, albeit annoying, holiday in February too that I completely...

At last! It's late here but I've been trying to find time to write for a while and have clearly failed. Two months have obviously gone by and a zillion things have happened which may have garnered...

"Goddammit! I skipped July?!"This is what I just said to myself out loud after sitting down and finally making time to write stuff down. I want to. I really do. But July seriously got away from me....
View ArticleNothing Is More Consistent Than Change
Well, hello. It's been ages. Seriously. Like people who write this blog (and I may be using the term 'people' a bit loosely since you and I - WE as it were - know I'm the only one who writes this bit...

I'm just gonna start the catching up process where I left off in oh.. (Christ..) August. Yeah.. no, that's not daunting at all. *Smacks hand to forehead* Sigh.. you've been warned. These will be...
View ArticleOh, The Places You'll Go!
I didn't write about my third trip to Burning Man in 2010. I'm not sure why. Eight months into a bumpy year of losing my job, a bruised ego, and trying to figure out what would come next, I stepped out...

Well hellooo spring in Seattle! Where have you been all my life? Let's not talk last year because you were nonexistent and we're all still a little bit bitter about that. We actively live within the...
