i’ve lived in some interesting places. i’ve slept in conditions that vary from the very posh hotel i spent one night in while in switzerland to a tent with 3 inches of water and a soaking sleeping bag in tanzania. i don’t consider myself overly picky. even so…my apartment sucks beyond the telling. and it […]
i seem to have lost myself in the auckland mist – prone to vanishing and reappearing like socks in a dryer. the weather taunting me as i thought only texas weather could…indecisive and cruel in its indecision. this morning it was almost warm, my bulky jacket purchased for my trip south was too much. and […]
this is long…i posted the link earlier and didn’t realize folks would have to log in…so here it is for you to read without all that… We Still Wear the Mask by W. Jelani Cobb We could have known that it would come to this way back in 1896. That was the year that Paul […]
1. The Long Way Around Words & Music by Emily Robison, Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, Dan Wilson My friends from high school Married their high school boyfriends Moved into houses In the same ZIP codes where their parents live But I I could never follow No I I could never follow I hit the highway […]

both of…no deaths at the hands of the other, no one left at the top of the glacier or the bottom of a sound. it was an amazing trip…sometimes unnerving…like showing up in queenstown without reservations. not realizing that of all the places we needed them (and indeed had them) queenstown was that place. a […]
so far there have been planes trains and busses. there have been clear skies, rain, ice…and possibly snow tonight. we’ve seen mountains, rivers, glaciers…and tomorrow a sound that is technically a fjord and simply misnamed. climbing franz josef glacier has been my highlight. we did a 3/4 hik instead of a full day or a […]
so it is, the eve of our trip south, and “nervous” kicked in last night. for me anyway. all of a sudden i felt this huge surge of responsibility…i really want S to like it…not just this trip but travel in general. i want him to relax and have fun and forget about his thesis […]
