Withdrawal

!–more– Just another short note today. We are now entering our second week without internet OR television. Apparently, the previous owners didn’t use either so we have to be surveyed to determine if we can get it. They won’t have an answer until 7/10. Then it will be up to a week beyond that toContinue reading “Withdrawal”

Brief Note

Good morning all! Just a really short note to let everyone know we made it safely to our new home in Las Cruces, NM, on Monday, 6/24/2013. We’ve been slowly getting settled in since then. It’s HOT here (but it’s dry heat). We haven’t selected an Internet provider yet so we don’t have any service. Continue reading “Brief Note”

Taking a Break

Last time, I wrote about the current of time accelerating. Since then (May 17) Scott and I’ve been swept along like twigs on a river, heading for the cataract! On June 3, Scott and I both worked our last day at our respective employers. June 4th we began the mad dash to both pack ourContinue reading “Taking a Break”

In Danger of Drowning?

I have fond memories of canoeing as a boy and as a young man. I’ve canoed in lakes and on placid rivers. I’ve even had the opportunity to canoe on a few white-water trips, though nothing really dangerous… mostly gentle rivers with short rapids that boosted my adrenalin flow a bit, but didn’t drive itContinue reading “In Danger of Drowning?”

Family

What a wild couple of weeks it has been since last I wrote. And the title of today’s post summarizes the past 3 weeks; these weeks have me thinking of family today. My life has been blessed by family. I have friends who never speak to their family. I have friends whose families can onlyContinue reading “Family”

It’s Time to Catch Up

I see that any pretense at posting regularly this year is shot! Over three months since my last post; and before that last post it had been 44 days for the one prior to that. It’s hard to believe that even part of me still harbors a desire to be a writer. Yet, I do.Continue reading “It’s Time to Catch Up”

Soy un Nuevo Méxicano!

Huh. It’s been 44 days since my last update. That actually surprises me, but… not really. It has been a busy month and a half, and there is so much to write about. I’m torn about whether to just write about the whole thing, or to keep it short and attempt to break it downContinue reading “Soy un Nuevo Méxicano!”

Tactical Moves and a Request

Hello all. It’s been about a month, now; a busy month. Scott and I have been struggling to get the new bath done, and we ARE making progress (I tell myself), just very slow progress. And it’s tiring progress. It’s amazing how much each weekend takes out of me. The foot is slowly recovering. ThisContinue reading “Tactical Moves and a Request”

Up to speed

Hi. It’s been an eventful two weeks since my last blog entry. No deep thoughts for you all this time around. There is a ligament that runs most of the length of the bottom of our feet called the Plantar Fascia. When this ligament is overtaxed in some way, it becomes inflamed, and this conditionContinue reading “Up to speed”

The Serenade

God knocks, calls, serenades us, but doesn’t necessarily intrude unless we desire and consent to intimacy. -R. Jay Pearson I get a mental image of God standing outside my window, singing me love songs… and me sitting all aloof in my room, ignoring the noise outside. Wondering why God has withdrawn intimate contact. Wondering why I’m strugglingContinue reading “The Serenade”
