It’s our last day here, ‘here’ being Shuswap Provincial Park. I arose to a beautiful sunny day, took care of some business and made my morning coffee. Instant in this case as I’m out of ground. I gathered my stuff and stepped outside with my fresh cup of Joe. What did I encounter when I …
Fell into Earls (haha, I like that, “Fell into”) here in Kamloops. Time to kill so I thought I’d drop in and write all about nothing. Have Laptop, will Travel. Seems most of what I put down is much about nothing anyway, hence Banal Writing. Having a beer seemed appropriate as well. Today is our …
Writing the last few days has become a challenge. We are camping and somehow I believed the alone time would spur some ideas and the writing would sprout from me like new growth from ripe potatoes. I’ve brought along a book I picked up in Spokane titled “Writing Voice” and in it, like in other …
Similar to the song “Crying” I really do feel like cryin’. I love that song however and prefer the version done by Roy Orbison and K.D. Lang. It’s Time We were camping with our daughter, her husband, and two kids last night. This morning was their time to go, to make it to the next …

I’m optimistic that the title of this post tells the story, that in fact I have turned the corner. Whether it’s the weather (haha), as in forest fire smoke, or hormones I don’t know. It could just be my synapses getting their act together. Whatever the cause, I’m glad it seems to have subsided, at …
Once again I come with hat in hand, writing with no idea what words will pour forth, I have an idea of what I want to say but not how to say it. I come begging that the thoughts will somehow magically appear on the page. The last little while I’ve felt decidedly cranky, my …
Once again what was intended to be a simple post turned into a chore of larger proportions. Lately it seems to be my lot in life, certainly as far as blogging goes. Either something goes amiss with my attempt to post, like hotspot problems, software, computer updates, etc., or I see something shiny and get …
I’ve moved again, not me and my house-home but my personal/private blogging domain-home. If you are here (haha) you might know this. It’s my new home, for now. My prattle has been relocated at least once before, if not twice. Some time ago, perhaps years, I wrote on a number of sites, more recently my …
