“Oh, yesterdays are over my shoulder,/So I can’t look back for too long./There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me/These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes,/Nothing remains quite the same.”*

*Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes by Jimmy Buffet. I don’t even like Jimmy Buffet, but I can’t help thinking about this song when thinking about our move.
Some have asked us whether we’re scared about the move. We are and there’s no denying it. We truly have no idea what we’ve gotten ourselves into. As […]

Today was a VERY long day. We started off from St. Peters, MO (just outside St. Louis) at 9am. Because I did not bring any cool weather clothes with me and the forecast is calling for it, we needed to stop somewhere and get me something to use to stay warm. We ended up at […]

*Meet Me in St. Louis by Judy Garland.
Today we drove from 10am until 6pm; losing the hour in the time zone change meant we drove for a total of 9 hours. We covered about 470 miles. It was another long drive. The Magpie and animals once again did fine. The hotel here is called […]

Sam Stone by John Prine. I recently discovered this pioneer of the alt-country movement on a NPR program called American Roots. He’s very cool and so is the program.
Most people have probably heard expressed the idea that the U.S. is a Christian nation. Often, this is used as a justification for the placement of the […]

*Chattanooga Sugarbabe by the one and only Johnny Cash. We don’t have the motivation or the time to confirm what Mr. Cash said, but because it’s him, we’ll believe it.
We began our journey this morning at 7:30. Yes, we were going to start yesterday morning but I failed to eliminate enough of my stuff; therefore, […]

Many people in our lives are astounded when we tell we are moving to Idaho because it’s so far away and remote. However, I have to tell you, if I had my druthers, we’d be moving to Europe or Alaska. I really want to experience as much of the world as possible. And by experience, […]

I just got back from selling the Jetta. So sad. We’ve had that old thing for six years and almost 100,000 miles. It did pretty well, I have to admit, although I never really liked it.
If you didn’t already think so, y’all can now say you officially know an idiot. I lost the title to […]
Glad it went by fast

Well, two and a wakeup, as they say. My time here in Montgomery is almost over and I can’t say it’s been good. I wanted to do a lot more here than I actually did. I thought about doing some hiking in the Talladega National Forest but did not, mostly because I didn’t make it […]
