Pictures of George Washington’s Birthplace I have never been to Mt. Vernon to see George Washington’s home, but I have now seen his birthplace. I’m not a big one on heroes, but I’ve always liked GW. I am so glad I took to time to go there. I almost didn’t,…
I’m sitting in the TinkTerra, the haunting aroma of wet leaves, damp nylon and dirty laundry wafting through the air. Harley shivers on the seat beside me, upset because I won’t let him help tell our story. A tropical breeze (hurricanes are tropical, aren’t they) dances through the leaves above…
Is it really camping if you take your laptop, iPod, PDA and Blackberry? At least I left the portable DVD player at home. I didn’t do much with the iPod except listen to it while driving around, and I left the PDA on the charger the entire trip. But I…
I slept really well last night once I let some air out of the air bed. I have a double decker air bed that can be split into two if necessary. It’s nice, but I found out that if you put too much air into both mattresses, you rock around…
Harley and I left the house at about 9:30 in the morning. I didn’t even start to pack until after 6 Thursday night so I was in no hurry to get going. Also because I didn’t pack until the last minute, I had forgotten a dozen things I needed (or…

I had a few friends from work over this weekend for game night. Dave, Brian and Cindy came as well as the friend-who-must-not-be-named. Dave brought his wife, Edie, and Brian brought his girlfriend, Rachel. I ordered pizza and had some veggies and fruit, too. Since our family is LDS and…
I think I demand way too much from the people I consider friends. First and most important, I expect loyalty. Unfortunately, that is what I rarely find. Maybe it would be different if I were a better friend myself. I think it’s time to go back to being a hermit….
I hope you had a good holiday. Ours was very quiet. We had Easter baskets, of course, and went to church and spent the rest of the day goofing off. In fact, I goofed off all weekend except for doing a little writing. I wrote my eighth story tonight, so…
I don’t know if you remember, but I decided to do a challenge similar to NaNoWriMo. I’m trying to give myself a break from my novel and force myself to look at new ideas, so I came up with the 30 Stories in 30 Days challenge. I was going to…
