I spent most of yesterday pulling down an old raven cage (from when my mom used to do wildlife rehab) with my mom and my sister. You know, using the truck to pull it over and drag the big pieces out of the trees. Prying rotting wood apart with a crow bar, throwing it in… Continue reading chocolate dreams and this is why I'm me
this is what it's like when worlds collide
I had the strangest experience yesterday: dinner with my mother and one of my dancer friends at the same time. By some weird twist of fate my friend the hard core hoe (that’s what she calls herself) and my mom started hanging out together this winter. This is extremely wierd. My mother considers herself to… Continue reading this is what it's like when worlds collide
Bro loves it here
I know I haven’t blogged much about Bro, but I’m sure I’ve mentioned how much he loves the ball? Seriously, the ball is his brain, he has the external kind. He can’t help it, he’s a Border Collie. Normally, when we meet people I’ll say, “don’t throw the ball if you don’t want to be… Continue reading Bro loves it here
I'm here…
I’m here at my little sister’s house in the big city. It’s really a small town, but in the village we used to talk about it like it was LA or NYC. The way to instant popularity, when I was a kid, was to have a friend in the big city. We would play “how… Continue reading I'm here…
One of the most beautiful places on Earth.
Of course most places are beautiful, but some just call to your soul more, and this is one for me. Here’s a pic of the bus in the same place last year. And cookin’ dinner alongside the road. I’m so in love with this place. After dinner I played in the mud and howled at… Continue reading One of the most beautiful places on Earth.
Van pics
Some people have wanted to see how the inside of my van is set up, so last night I attempted to take some pictures. It’s hard to get a picture of the whole van at once, ya know? Also it was dark, so I couldn’t really see in the view finder until after the picture… Continue reading Van pics
I feel kinda skeevy about the pics I posted yesterday…
I always see these tourists in cars taking pictures. I mean, they don’t even look at things, they just stay safely in their car, pause for long enough to snap a shot, and off they go again. You can see the camera starting to come up before they’ve even stopped. I love Alaska and I… Continue reading I feel kinda skeevy about the pics I posted yesterday…
pictures are worth thousands of words
It’s looking like home! There’s bears bears bears everywhere. These ones were just along the side of the road… Mama bear: Baby bears (you might have to click to see, they’re in the tree) She’s hiding like her mama told her but she’s sooo curious Here’s her brother: Here’s Bro when we stopped for lunch… Continue reading pictures are worth thousands of words
I'm halfway!
Halfway through Canada, that is. Which puts me through all the cities and farms and factories and into the beautiful country. The slow down and enjoy it part. Except that the more it looks like home the more I just keep driving and driving. I love Alaska and I miss it so much. I don’t… Continue reading I'm halfway!
Which crusty old stripper archetype am I?
I’ve noticed lately that some people think of me as an old time veteran stripper, and I have been dancing for, well, longer than I’d like to admit. It got me thinking tho… you know those “What ____ are you?” quizzes that are all over the internet? Well, what old stripper archetype am I? (Old… Continue reading Which crusty old stripper archetype am I?
