I’m scared
January 1, 2010 – 6:00 am
.
My auto mechanics courses start this month!
First day of school is January 19th. I will attend classes Monday through Thursday from 1:45 to 4:15pm until May 16th.
I’m scared because I received my school supplies list. I don’t know what any of this is. Oh, except the flashlight and safety goggles. I know what those are.
How [...]
Merry Christmas
December 24, 2009 – 6:00 am
I am heading up to the Dallas/Fort Worth area to spend Christmas Eve with my family.
I enjoyed this post from Technomadia today: Then and Now
I hope you all have a happy holiday and see you next Monday!

These are not lame YouTube Videos
November 24, 2009 – 6:00 am
I made the mistake of starting the first video in the series, “Traveling on the Outskirts” the other night.
I ended up watching the entire two seasons in one sitting.
These are not lame travel videos. Jessica and Duncan studied film and their video blog is like a well made mini-reality TV show.
You can watch all of [...]
I adopted a family!
November 8, 2009 – 6:00 am
I used to hate the holiday season. Like a lot of us, the excessive materialism would leave me feeling more cynical than celebratory.
And (as noted way too many times by me, I promise to stop), I live in a tiny house. I have no space for extra coffee mugs, candle holders, and the novelty picture [...]
Bob
October 28, 2009 – 6:00 am
In 2006, I returned to Austin to work with my beloved academic mentor, Bob Solomon.
In 2007, while changing plans in the Zurich Airport, Bob unexpectedly died.
His life and death had a profound impact on people around the world.
Here is an excerpt of his philosophy (from his cameo appearance in The Waking Life) that many found [...]
Getting too excited
October 5, 2009 – 10:34 pm
I have so many things that I am excited about that I can hardly keep track. So, in chronological order, the things I am looking forward to:
1) Lisiting my house: About 90 days
2) Starting my Auto Mechanics Course: About 3 months and 5 days
3) Moving into my RV: About 5-7 months.
4) Leaving for Arctic Ocean/Alaska: [...]
The deal with my (seemingly absent) husband
October 4, 2009 – 4:17 pm
I have been blogging about my travels and plans for travels, finances and plans for finances, et cetera, all without seemingly appropriate references to how/where/when/what my husband and partner is going to do.
David, my much beloved husband, is a teacher, writer, business expert, and novelist. He is also somewhat of a recluse. So, my husband [...]
Vicariously living through other women’s adventures
September 29, 2009 – 9:12 pm
If you are home, bored, and drinking that third glass of wine, I recommend you check out photographer Sandy Wheaton’s Route 66 blog.

Sandy is driving the entire length of historic route 66 and capturing some pretty amazing photographs as she goes along. Oh, and she is doing it while camping in a (bathroom-less) Aliner trailer [...]
Arctic Ocean itinerary
September 28, 2009 – 1:25 pm
After an obsessive weekend of research, I now have a very detailed itinerary on how I will drive to the Arctic Ocean for summer solstice.
It is actually not that complicated! I would drive across the US to visit Yellowstone, then to Glacier National Park, then into Alberta, Canada, across British Columbia (where I pick up [...]
The Road to Inuvik
September 25, 2009 – 10:06 pm
My Milepost arrived in the mail today! The Milepost is an annually updated publication on driving the Alaskan Canadian highway, popularly referred to (well, by the few that might refer to it) as the Alcan. It is still an ambitious longshot for me, but I am up studying the suggested itineraries.
Fairbanks, Alaska is about 500 [...]
