Please stand by…

So, yeah, I have a couple of great posts in the works.  They’re funny.  They’re deep.  They cover epiphanies I’ve had.
Unfortunately, I’m stuck at home today, sick as a dog.  And when I’m sick, I can’t write worth shit.
So, even though I said I’d blog more, I’m going to blog less, for a couple of [...]

The blog thus far…

So here it is, that long personal post that you’ve all been waiting for.  Unless, of course you haven’t, in which case, uh, just wait for the next hiking post, m’kay?
I’m sitting in the mountains, typing this on a laptop.  It’s quiet here, except for the wind blowing through the trees.  It’s an amazing thing, [...]

HIKE: Mt. Islip

I’ve been so out of the mood to write lately.  But I did go hiking last weekend.  So, here’s a boring hike post.
Hiking Mt. Islip from the north side is like ramble along a high sierra trail.  Cool, with gentle breezes, and lined with sugar and jeffrey pines, Mt. Islip is a relaxing jaunt that I [...]

2.  No one else owns the road.  You do not have to [...]

My state is disappearing

This wasn’t the post I was going to do tonight.  The post I was going to do tonight was going to be lighthearted, something to cheer my own spirits as much as anyone elses.  But this has been nagging me, so a-posting I will go.
Growing up in California, I’m certainly no stranger to urban sprawl.  [...]

Just keep piling it on

So, in addition to all the other crap of the past couple of weeks, life tossed something new into the pot this week: a brand new neighbor.
My old neighbor was a nice enough guy.  The only drawback was that he smoked, and the prevailing winds around our place took the smoke out of his living [...]

Ever…

Have you ever:

Opened an IM window and stared at it for 10 solid minutes without having any damn idea what to type?
Composed an e-mail but not had the guts to send it?
Tried to will your cell phone to ring because every time you pick it up yourself you’re at a loss for words?

Damn it all, [...]

I Get By With A Little Help…

Why do I refer to her as “The Best Friend”?
Because, when I sent her a half-drunk whiny e-mail, she not only A) didn’t interpret it as being half-drunk or whiny, she B) called me, on her lunch hour, from her workplace, the very next day, and C) her first reaction upon reading the e-mail: “aw, [...]

Because…

… I feel the need to blog something.
Thank God for alcohol.  In 22 oz. bottles no less.
