I’m working hard here to figure out how to say something about myself in the midst of the crisis our country and our world is in. I’ve written two complete posts this week and then deleted them for being petty compared to what I’m reading in the news and hearing from friends and family. So, […]

Sitting Here in Limbo
A classic from Jimmy Cliff: Sitting here in limbo Waiting for the tide to flow Sitting here in limbo Knowing that I have to go I can’t say what life will show me But I know what I’ve seen I can’t say where life will lead me But I know where I’ve been (Three quick […]
My Tea Set Regrets
This is a superfluous post. If you’re here for an update on our breakdown status, we made it safely back to the RV park our friends are in by using the interim hitch, and we’ll stay here while Tracy rebuilds our good hitch. Meanwhile, I think of tea. It’s not my fault that I have […]
On the Road Again, But in a Hotel
Oh man, I had what I thought was a funny title for this post—and that’s what it got published with—but now I’m thinking it’s a lot less funny and a lot more weird. It’s hard to joke about plumbing, either in the trailer or in the person, and I was aiming at both! Whatever, it’s […]
You Might Be a Full-timing Airstreamer If …
What a joy it’s been to get to know other full-timing Airstreamers whom we met at the International rally in October. Rachael and Leon run a Facebook group for us, and Tom and Amy inspire me with their activist writing every day. Here’s a fun post Tom left on that Facebook group that, now that […]

For Us Winter Texans
I was reading about the first act at an outdoor music venue we go to sometimes down here in Brownsville, and the post said the artist would be on from 6-8 pm, “for you Winter Texans.” Aka, old people who like to go to bed early. I’m in! So, we stood in the chilly evening […]
The Nomad Witching Hour Is Upon Us
Sometimes when we’re staying somewhere for more than a few days (and when we’re lucky)—the weekend campers are gone, we’re done with our mystery trips to the local grocery store and laundromat—and we can explore and relax in peace. That’s the sweet spot. I’m thinking we’re in the sour spot about right now. Time wise, […]
Merry Christmas, from Warmth and Sunshine!
It’s Christmas Eve here in Brownsville, and I’d planned on going to the cocktail party at the RV park clubhouse this evening, but the holiday blues are upon me. It doesn’t help that I cleaned everyone out of pocket money during Card Bingo last night in a freak string of beginner’s luck and now don’t […]
Still Catching Our Collective Breath
I haven’t been my usual chatterbox self here on the blog because there hasn’t been much to report. Except! For big news! (Oh how easily I forget.) My knee is finally better! I found a chiropractor willing to do a modified set of jerks; he was more conservative than the guy in Wisconsin about the […]
