0trailer lights, big plans, big news
5For the I don’t know how many-eth time, I was going to finish rewiring the trailer today. I think I have a sound strategy now, and I bought a continuity tester for the 12v trailer wiring. All the wire is run. But I still need somebody to hit the breaks, and somebody to stand behind [...] Continue Reading »
for the attaboys and youcandoits
4Here are some reasons I wanted to update the blog as to the status of my memoir: 1. To explain my writing absence here. 2. To try and get the word out of its existence. 3.

4If you have begun a lenten journey this year, good speed to you. Maybe you gave up white chocolate. Maybe you gave up being mean to your husband. I gave up changing diapers, and began a one hour evening devotion to poetry and arpeggios. A big ha. Let me re-begin, the coffee isn’t yet working. [...] Continue Reading »

1There is a possibility that Ashley’s art reception at the Clayton Center at Maryville College could be cancelled tonight due to inclement weather. This would be obviously very disappointing for her, having had a long pause from exhibiting work, but also unfortunate for her intentness. In her work she is learning to incorporate the new rhythms [...] Continue Reading »
