I haven’t been very motivated to write my blog lately. It’s not that I haven’t been doing interesting things lately. Like last Sunday I went on an urban forage walk (www.spontaneousvegetation.net) in which I learned about wild plants that you can eat . . . and they’ll help with headaches, colds, allergies, depression, etc – [...]
Last Friday night, we took dad to see a comedian for father’s day. I had no idea who Danny Bhoy was and my expectations did not rise above the height of a monkey. But he delivered! It was fun fun fun! I found the Irish comment hilarious because I know an Irish guy and when [...]
She might look like a witch in the photo with my dad and I, but looks are deceiving. Grandma Agnes passed away quietly in her sleep in February. Luckily, she was healthy and took care of herself up until she entered the nursing home last November. This weekend, the family is getting together to bury [...]

This photo represents me, for the past five months . . . but with more luggage. Oh, yeah, and a car. This guy was walking along the road, somewhere in New Mexico. Last fall when I left, I really thought I wouldn’t come back. I came back. I had the freedom to move anywhere, but [...]
