The Airstream, First It is now parked behind a locked, electrified fence in an auction lot. We left the keys inside as well as Tracy’s Airstream baseball cap. What should have been an end-of-life farewell was a torturous journey. There was so much miscommunication between the insurance company’s tow truck contractors and subcontracts that, after […]
On the Brink of Our Next Adventure
It’s been a grueling couple of months, for me at least. Tracy, ever the stoic, has remained calm, while my psyche has run a marathon over mountains and through swamps, chasing house after house. Behind us the whole way has been the charge of handing the Airstream to our insurance company. If the house hunt […]
The Magic Spell that Made the Airstream Grow and the Apartment Shrink
I’m sitting in the apartment on The Red Couch (capitalized because it’s the most expensive thing we’ve bought, a whole $100), very early in the morning during a thunderstorm. Tracy is sleeping and Banjo is anxiously sitting by his bedside, but, here in the school-spirit red living room, I’ve opened the vertical blinds to the […]
Yay for the Good People
I mean that universally in this time of craziness around our country; there are a few good people doing good works, still. Thank you if you’re one of them. In my little world, things are also gonna get crazy here. The trailer will be picked up sooner than we expected, so, for the couple of […]

Time for Your 2026 Banjo Wall Calendar
Back by popular demand! It’s the lovely, the unique, the second edition Banjo wall calendar. Now, believe me, I know this is strange. I myself have never even used a wall calendar, much less one with someone else’s dog on it. But, a friend gave me this idea last year, and other people actually bought […]
Countdown to the Switcherooo
You know our move out of Tracy’s house into the Airstream was bumpy because it was right when Covid started. Of course, this move out of the Airstream into a sticks and bricks is looking also to be a long and windy road. We have experience with long and windy roads, though. (Yes, pun actually […]
The Seeds of Some Who Wander
Ever since I began keeping this blog, at the very start of our adventures on the road, friends have suggested that it would make an interesting book, and I agree. The sticking point is that I feel like I already wrote that book. It’s right here, and I don’t want to write it again. If […]
Things I Want to Remember about Living in the Airstream
I’m sitting in my seat at the dinette very early this morning, looking around at the trailer while Tracy and Banjo sleep. I’m thinking about all the things I don’t want to forget in here, all the small aspects of daily life inside our home that I want to stay with me in my memories. […]
