Put it on a T-shirt: Biker Edition

February 10, 2017April 25, 2017 ~ Kana Smith ~ 2 Comments

I've been suffering from PMS: Parked Motorcycle Syndrome. With a record-breaking amount of snow on the ground, Boise has not been "bike-friendly" since November, and Jon and I both have been itching to get back on two wheels. We're finally having a thaw this week, and we've been watching the snow recede with ONE question … Continue reading Put it on a T-shirt: Biker Edition

Changing My Story

January 4, 2017January 5, 2017 ~ Kana Smith ~ 5 Comments

Sometimes the really simple stuff is the hardest to get my hard head around... How is it, for example, that I can have a goal and know what it is and face no real impediments---yet it doesn't materialize? When there's not some external obstacle, why don't I get that goal accomplished? Well, it all comes down to ME, … Continue reading Changing My Story

Travels with Toots

December 28, 2016January 9, 2017 ~ Kana Smith ~ 1 Comment

Toots is the teddy bear I've had since I was a year old. Well, we've always called him a teddy bear, though his actual shape is sort of open to interpretation...

Singing in the Shower

November 11, 2016December 12, 2016 ~ Kana Smith ~ 12 Comments

It's fairly telling that my most "recent" post here dates from almost two years ago. It's even more telling that I haven't FELT like writing for two years. (That should be a red flag for a person like me, right?) And the real irony is that there was plenty to be writing ABOUT in those two years, … Continue reading Singing in the Shower

A Lesson on Letting Go

August 7, 2012August 8, 2012 ~ Kana Smith ~ 76 Comments

Here's my GRIN for the day: I have a new client for my freelance writing, and the "job application" I sent him consisted of (1) a link to this blog, as a "writing sample," and (2) a photo of my motorcycle tattoo. I regularly refer to my tats as Stories, but had never considered this … Continue reading A Lesson on Letting Go

"As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts."
