Last of the Savannah trip…advanced learning…sometimes you kill the zombies, sometimes they eat you. This one’s mostly going to be about Thursday and Friday last week in Savannah. But I have to brag. A friend of mine’s in Savannah right now and DID successfully get googly-eye pix in the same place. More on that below. […]

Savannah trip!…travel when you’re not operating in a fear-based econcomy…Amtrak…Tybee Island Lighthouse The Savannah trip went super well. This is probably going to be a long post. (Several super long posts, I think!) But to sum up: we had a great time, I took a bajillion pictures, and I thought about traveling quite a bit.

Dancing in the rain…moving through crowds I’m trying to get caught up on posts! In my defense, it’s been busy. Side Quest (March 13) Most of today has been dealing with Pain in the Ass stuff. Just a relentless amount of it. Brain feels melted. I am cranking the tunes and dancing off and on

Finishing a novel…going qajaqing/kayaking…happiness. The Inuit preferred spelling for “kayak” is “qajaq” and I’m trying to switch over! Adventures du jour! (March 9) I don’t really have the brain cells to write a long essay today, but there are things I want to remember. I got out fairly early this morning, took a selfie–and my

Finished a book!…webtoon structure…words mean things, maybe Adventures du jour! I finished book 3 of Blind Date with Death last night – Wednesday/Soup. Next up is Thursday/Main Course. (Working titles.) The plan is still to write the whole series and get it all edited (and the clues and references figured out) before it goes live

Incremental learning mode…math as discovery tool instead of something you have to “get right”–maybe. Adventures du jour! I mostly just have weird little stubby half-thoughts to report for the last few days. No new big breakthroughs. Lots of inching forward, then getting stuck, then taking a slightly different approach or switching to something else and

Yesterday was a Pain In the Ass (PITA) day, where I tried to get caught up on practical stuff. I made a decent dent in it, although by no means did I do everything on the list. This morning, I got up felt the patio window, and realized I needed to start getting my ass

Gamer dude…A privilege to chew meat…end of a fear-based economy. Adventures du jour! I have one ear back! Still feverish. I skipped walking yesterday but went today. Good day yesterday despite starting out so whiny. Gaming online with a friend again. A lot of low-level quests to start building good practice on playing well together

Allergies…doodling faces…a ramble on “words” Adventures du jour! I’ve been sick with a bunch of upper respiratory/ear infections/severe joint pain due to allergies, probably tree allergies, probably live oak allergies. I think the allergies are more or less in check at this point! My hearing is still a bit muffled on one side, but I’m
