    2024-10-30 Highlights from a Very Remote Nebraska Vacay

    Where was I? Where was I before? And where have I been since then? As I alluded to yesterday, being laid up on my ass for two months was a little bit depressing. In truth, though, it’s not like I was immobile, I just couldn’t work out or do anything too physically taxing. I could…

    Monday again and for the first time in many, many days the alarm clock woke me up today. I’ve been waking up at 4 or 5 or 6am without reason or prompting for a while so to have slept all the way to Jim’s 6:15 subtle jungle emanating from the bathroom where he keeps his…

(Of course 😉) This little adventure we are heading out on this morning will take us…

  • 2017-08-21 What I Would Do for Totality.. Apparently

    Be up over 36 hours straight. Suffer through a migraine. Suffer through a terrible hotel stay. Have the worst “free” hotel breakfast ever. Hours of waiting (this part wasn’t so bad before the eclipse because we were with friends). Stupid paper glasses (ok, now I’m just being a whiny bitch). Lack of proper nutrition (my…

  • 2017-08-20 Things You Can’t Control

    My anxiety is high today. As the minutes tick by it is getting worse. Why do I feel this way? I really hate that I get so nervous about things I can’t control. Like the weather for example. So here I am in Omaha, really, really close to the path of full totality for the…
