Henhouse Interior for Now, May 17, 2023 I have spent almost two entire days, morning to sunset, in the enclosed hen pen, sitting with the chicks while they adapt to being outside critters. Doing so has helped them decide I’m a legitimate part of their flock, so now when I go out, two or […]

I had a weird dream this morning. I was in the back seat of a limousine with two rows of back seats. DeForest and Carolyn Kelley were in the front. I was in the farthest back seat. We weren’t driving anywhere at the moment. De passed back to me (via a middle-seat intermediary)

It’s Easter here today in the Northern Hemisphere, so Happy Easter to all who celebrate, in whichever ways you choose to celebrate it, either as a Christian holiday, an Easter Bunny event, or in some other pagan/indigenous manner. (Easter was yesterday Down Under, so I wish a belated Happy to my friends there.) I’m

OK, I have a passport application appointment scheduled for the first week in May (the first date available at a local post office). The processing time for applications right now is 11 to 14 weeks, so I’ll get it sometime in September or a bit sooner. That’s still plenty of time before I plan to

Laurel and I walked at Chambers Bay Golf Course today. The weather was perfect for the 10K walk. Enjoyed it. Here are the images I took. I’m going to see if I can get permission to post the best image of her and me together. If I get it, I will add it. For

I’m back from a joyous visit to Cle Elum where ten people came (some from a long way away!) to share a few hours laughing and reminiscing. The winners for the longest distance traveled to attend the gathering were Patty Walsh (sorry, I don’t know Patty’s married last name: I’m going by her maiden

This is Part two of my week-long Cle Elum Memories series. (I had no idea it would become a series. So many memories have been flooding my mind that it’s hard to keep track of them all!) But first, a little history. Cle Elum means “swift water” in the Yakama language. That’s because (duh!)

Navel Gazing defined: “Engaging in or characterized by self-indulgent or excessive contemplation of oneself or a single issue, at the expense of a wider view.” I see persistent and excessive navel gazing on Facebook, especially from Creatives. I think most of us suffer from more than our fair share of Impostor Syndrome, defined as
