Long Haul, Short Break...
Charlie is delighted to be back in Colorado Springs, and is moving his gear into his dorm room even now, as I sit in a (relatively) posh motel, one that has wifi, and all the necessaries... I'll be here a couple of nights, until he gets all his moving and shopping accomplished. His classes start Tuesday. (Clever lad, none of his classes meet on Monday!) I'll give the travel news in my Travelblogue--this is about just being plumb wore out from driving and car-camping, which is to say, sleeping...

Last day... or so
I've been blogging intensely this past month, trying to see if I can make Blogit break even. Gonna get close this month, I think... But what a lot of energy goes into making $20! Good thing this is so much more rewarding in so many other ways! Anyway, tomorrow we are heading out, Charlie and me, for Colorado. We haven't hardly begun packing, and don't know what route we are taking yet. The only fer-sher is that we need to have him at his school in time for classes Aug 25th. We need to get a...

When Davy arrived, he was about the same size as Urgo. Over the course of 3 months he is now about 4 times Urgo's...

I know he'll be back!
Samantha posted this morning about the unhappy anticipation of watching her daughter, her pal, head out to college. http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam15355536/ I know the feeling! I sent my youngest, Charlie, off to college last year, and it was I who insisted he get far from the familiar ground and routines of home. He was reluctant to leave the area he grew up in, the one he knows best, his good friends and a good bus system. (He is a kid who never much has wanted the independence and...

Well, then... Enough of the art festival!
Yes, I'm home already and not planning to go back tomorrow. For one thing, I am quite sunburnt enough! I haven't been this red in years! And of course, it has to be in a funny-looking pattern because of the particular blouse I was wearing, and how badly I need a haircut. For another, it was almost no fun at all, sharing the space with the jewelry artist who invited me. Do you know folks who are so sure of their own way being the best of all possible ways that they never stop to consider or to...
