As I think about last night’s unusual conversation with Dad, I’m struck by the thought that, in a way, we’ve come full circle. Thirteen years ago, last month, is when I first came out to Mom and Dad. I don’t think about that too much, as it was quite a painful experience of all threeContinue reading “more thoughts on last night”

o.m.g.
PLACE: Driving with Dad after a nice evening with Uncle Lyle, Missy, Jim, Molly, Timmy and Toby. And of course Scott. DAD: “So, is Scott going to do that thing?” ME: “What thing is that, Dad?” DAD: “I don’t know… that thing. You and Scott going to do that thing?” ME: “Well, I’m not sureContinue reading “o.m.g.”
Assignment 2
In our “Creating a Life that Matters” class that Scott and I are taking through our church, we have weekly homework.

We completed the first course a few weeksContinue reading “Assignment 2”

Cinderfella
Well, my little pay back period last week only lasted a day. Yay! The rest of last week, I spent doing… well… stuff. Wednesday, in spite of feeling better, I kind of loafed most of the day. That evening, Scott and I had dinner with Dad. Thursday, I had an interview with the firm IContinue reading “Cinderfella”
Pay Back
They say payback’s a bummer. As you probably could tell from the blogs during our trip, we had a great, relaxing time. The drive home, was not so relaxing, though. Yesterday, I met with a recruiter and we went over my resume. She has a position in mind, and I’m waiting to hear more now. Continue reading “Pay Back”
Home Again
Scott and I arrived home last night about 7:30 p.m., absolutely worn out from the day’s drive. The first 71 miles, from Limon, CO, to Brush, CO, along CO71 (I think) was not too bad. Little did we know we were being pushed along by a strong tail-wind! But once we hit I76 at Brush,Continue reading “Home Again”
Day 15 – The Road Home
We were on the road by 7:30 a.m. Weather was clear and sunny, very little wind, all the way up US54 from Alamogordo to Vaughn, NM. Unfortunately, at Vaughn, US54 was closed. Our plan had been to drive up US54 to just shy of Santa Rosa, then take US84 north to I25 just south ofContinue reading “Day 15 – The Road Home”
Day 14.5 – Snow Day
Well, not too much to report today. Scott and I remained pretty much holed up in the trailer today. We cleaned it out… again. I did the laundry. We watched weather reports. About 4 we went over to Mudder & Pops, and brought them over to see the trailer. Then we went to dinner atContinue reading “Day 14.5 – Snow Day”
Day 14 – Stranded!!!!
Well, it looks like we may be home a bit later than planned. New Mexico has been hit by a major winter storm that has closed most of I40 between Albuquerque and the Texas border. Most of I40 in Texas is also in a very bad condition. Oklahoma doesn’t look much better. EvenContinue reading “Day 14 – Stranded!!!!”
