Life in Kana-text (er… CONtext)
As work-environments go, ours is pretty out of the ordinary. We run an RV Park and live onsite (that's not the weird part---although it certainly has its interesting moments). It's a small park---just 105 sites, around 65 of which are occupied by long-term folks---which functions almost like a mini-town within our already-small-town. And we only … Continue reading Punching Bag
I couldn't tell you what it is about Octobers, but nearly every drama and trauma of my adult life has landed on me in an October. It makes for a month littered with traumatic anniversaries and destructive memories. October has been a haunted month for me, for reasons entirely unrelated to Halloween.

Keoni wrote out, on the lid of her take-out container: JustD. And ever since, … Continue reading Tomatoes & Moose

Hey, take your mind out of the gutter! BOOK covers. I'm between the BOOK-covers of one of the hilarious social commentaries novels penned by Charles Dickens---and this particular copy of this particular book has me thinking... I really do love the heft and the presence of a real paper book. BUT. Because I don't have … Continue reading Between the Covers
