I lost my digital camera, I think. It was wrapped in a boy-scout smokey-the-bear hanky, last seen on my van dash, next to the open window, outside the gas station. I left my phone at my new job, on the edge of the stainless sink, in the darkened kitchen stuffed with vintage rootbeer flavoring. I … Continue reading secret chicken

It turns out that I can selectively password-protect posts, so that is what I will do. There are none of them yet, but those who commented on … Continue reading Going private update!

Vaycay from the blog
Hey y'all- I'm going to be taking some space from this blog in the next few weeks, so I won't be posting very often. Just so you know, and you don't think I've like died or something. My life is not a non-stop adventure right now, and the parts that are blog-worthy I don't really … Continue reading Vaycay from the blog
