2019-05-21 Discovering True North

Yesterday we drove to the edge and walked to the edge and looked out beyond the edge to see what we could see. At the edge, in that quiet space of nowhere and solitude and cold and uncertainty, I thought I heard music. As I walked, in my too-big rubber boots and three layers of…

2019-05-20 Nebraska Day 1 – Road Trip Shenanigans

Let’s see, what we I can remember now that we have made it to our Cozy Econolodge Motel (Room 133) with Kitchenette in Lovely Valentine Nebraska?… We got on the road about 8:30AM, just as we had planned and headed west out of town via Maple street, past Elkhorn and Valley and Fremont and North…

Right now I’m sitting on a bed in a hotel room with two teenagers that just had soda and habitually stay up past 3am. It’s 9:30 pm and I’ve been in 4 states today, driven back and forth across the Missouri River several times, and went 75mph on a roller coaster, speeding toward the ground.…

2018-07-13 Friday the 13th 😱
Don’t be scared.. nothing terrifying is going on – except .. MFA Residency starting!!! 😮🤔😃 Of course my period also started today cuz it wouldn’t be a party without THAT happening. Cramps worse than usual and I’m self medicating with ibuprofen and iced vanilla latte. In true procrastinator fashion I didn’t start packing until today.…
