In Transit
Packing (verb) — Throwing the absolute minimum amount of wash-in-the-sink-and-hang-dry t-shirts in a bag, so I can leave maximum space for hair products and books. Once again, I forgot to take my shampoo and conditioner and lotion and mouthwash and … Continue reading
Airline Math
When Stick and I were flying out to Denver, there was a problem with the TV screens on the plane, so no one could watch the movie. It was no trouble at all, because I hadn’t realized that there was … Continue reading
Bracing Mountain Air

Textbook Case
Look, another post where I hold up something to which I’ve contributed to in a tiny way! My Craftsman Farms blog and I are mentioned in this business communications textbook! I’m on page 5, so this will be covered early … Continue reading
Play! A Videogame Symphony
Stick and I went to Play! A Videogame Symphony at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre a few weekends ago. We joined the crazy quilt of blankets, over a carpet of drying pine needles, and unpacked our cheese, olives, Nintendo DS, and … Continue reading
