The car did not die on us. Thankfully. I was astonished we made it back 28 days on the dot. Oh damn, it feels so good to be back in my own bed. So. Why did we do this? Because we are (still) unemployed. Because we got laid off, and realized work was the biggest […]
Made it to Crown Point and my mom and dad’s place. It felt good to see everybody in a strictly visiting context. Usually, I’m around for disasters and/or emergencies. I’ll be back there next month to help out post medical issue. There’s a lot I’m not saying in this blog. I didn’t write about all […]
The coolant reservoir is sitting in the driver’s seat of the car. A screw apparently popped loose and rashed through the bottom. Roy is out hunting down a new one as I type. This may turn out to be the last of the car drama…at least I hope it is. Woke up in the middle […]

Going to start to pack up and head on out to ATL before Courtney totally convinces Katie to join the NOLA Roller Derby Girls. Or Katie convinces Courtney to take up the accordian. (Courtney refers to the trees covered with Spanish moss as “big Gandalf looking trees”.) Share on Facebook
Not anymore. The camera crew came and interviewed us again bright and early this morning. They wanted a shot of me typing on here, but they had me do it on Roy’s computer. (so you’ll have to switch your keyboard back to dvorak, hon.) Share on Facebook
