i always feel like a traveler, going somewhere, toward some destination. (is that a quote?

8good organ tone can save the shortcomings in life
2The Mr. J’s sign came down yesterday and two fresh coats of white covered over the tuxedo man stencil. Passersby stopped momentarily to mourn his memory and a Murray institution of fine formal wear and limousine service is history. What exists now is a blank slate of fine office space where your good neighbor State Farm [...] Continue Reading »
the fiesta verdict, peeking in a Serro Scotty camper, and kentucky bound in the morning
4In the calm after the storm yesterday we drove to Sevierville to the Rebel Dish Barn. It’s the largest Fiesta store in the South, new and vintage. I compared my stuff with his and I do have exactly what I thought. We stopped on the way home at Camper World. They don’t have Airstreams [...] Continue Reading »

Sorry, a modern Kerouac is not the [...] Continue Reading »

These all make nice weekend getaways, at around 12-16 feet in length. But, if [...] Continue Reading »
get a little mud on the tires
5After yesterday’s post I tidied up the blog a tad. Ashley and I looked so young in our bios, and I must have thought I was funny when I wrote them. I’m trying to make the blog a little easier to get around. Plus I’m trying to make you stay longer and come back more. [...] Continue Reading »
one year home
2They just left my house after doing a home appraisal. We got up early and scrubbed for hours. It was one year ago tomorrow that we moved back home. I just sat here a very long time. It feels like I should recap or talk a lot. Nope, the insight is a short one: Explore [...] Continue Reading »
