I forgot my journal today, the paper version, and I must say it’s put me into a bit of a twist. Why does this keep happening? We are at Bear Creek Park, just across the lake from Kelowna, and finishing off this leg of our camping trip. This may be the last camping we do …
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 having flashbacks, and they aren’t the drug or alcohol induced kind. My flashbacks are the ones that occurs when you see, smell, or taste something familiar and it pulls you back to a prior life. They take you back to something, someplace, that holds a positive place in your soul. In my case it’s …
My procrastination is running amok. And to top it off I’m not sure if the camping is helping or not. One of the reasons we came out here, here being the local campground Syringa Creek Provincial Park, was for some R&R. After all, isn’t that why everyone goes camping? I have some small jobs that …
The day began as many others. I awoke, dressed, made my coffee, and tried a yogurt for breakfast instead of my usual cereal or toast. Nothing unusual there.

Why do we camp, emphasis on DO as in why DO we camp? I thought I knew the answer but like so many things now I’m doubting what I do and don’t know. I think I’m in a funk, I’m “funking”, and while it’s not a terminal condition it is one that is nevertheless somewhat …
We are beginning the second leg of our trips now. We finished one tour of camping duty and have gone back out to battle the roads again. Yesterday and the day before give us a chance to get caught up on laundry, pick up a few supplies, and take care of one or two personal …
I received a call the other day, really it was an email but the purpose was the same. It was a question, asked by the person who took over my previous role at work, “do you want to golf on Sunday?”. Now that sounds like a harmless question, and it may be just that simple, …
Our visit here is almost over. One more night, tonight, and we will be back on the road again. It reminds me of the Willie Nelson song…..”On the Road Again”…., I think it was Willie anyway. I’ve never been good at remembering songs or artists so cut me some slack, please. It’s been somewhat relaxing …
