You know what? I'll write this one later. No wait, come back---I'm just kidding! I'm a terrible procrastinator, have been for as long as I can remember... I'm noticing that a number of these t-shirt ideas could double as "ADHD" slogans... And I suddenly wonder if that diagnosis has anything to do with my apparent … Continue reading Put it on a T-shirt… sometime: Procrastination Edition

(List#5) Things I Love About Lists
My journal is full of lists. To-do lists, a packing list for our Christmas trip, lists of words (did you know that "glazomania" means "a passion for list-making"?)... Yes, I almost just embarked on a comprehensive list of my lists. What IS it about lists that I love so much? Lists allow for compartmentalized chaos. (Kind of like … Continue reading (List#5) Things I Love About Lists
Put it on a Bumper Sticker: RV Edition (List#4)
Time for another little list! I used to love the idea of a turtle carrying its "home" on its back, and I love the same thing about portability-of-home now that I'm living in an RV! For those of us who can travel with our homes on our backs (or towed behind a truck, anyway), the whole … Continue reading Put it on a Bumper Sticker: RV Edition (List#4)

Byways & Bygones: Idaho’s “Old Oregon Trail Byway”
Engine idling in the middle of the desert, we contemplate the pockmarked metal sign in front of us. Military Range, it declares, adding the instruction that civilian vehicles are to keep to the main road. Which leaves us with a question--what is the definition, out here, of a "main road"? Off to the side, a … Continue reading Byways & Bygones: Idaho’s “Old Oregon Trail Byway”
Fishing vs. Catching
When I stepped outside the cabin this morning, the creekside meadow in muted colors of pre-dawn looked more like an impressionist's watercolor than an actual scene... But minutes later the sun swooped above the ridge opposite, and the meadow suddenly popped with all the vibrant maroons and golds of September in Stanley. Or maybe that's … Continue reading Fishing vs. Catching
