Plugging Along
So here we are. I made it to Friday. I’m exhausted. This is the hardest work I’ve ever done. When one is in an office, one tends to talk to people, get up, walk around, get coffee, make coffee, etc. Here in my lonely programmer’s garret, I am focused. Also, since I log my time, [...]
Here comes the sun
Florida is the “Sunshine State,” and even though we’ve had much rain over the past week, the sun just came out for a bit. The significance of this observation is that we are no longer in Mississippi. We made our escape yesterday, after the truck was returned to us. Much work was done, some under [...]
Mississippi You’re On My Mind
In which I get another song title as a blog post title. Things have not gone according to plan. After our nice overnight in Beaumont, Texas, we spent Sunday on the road heading another 260 miles to Slidell, Louisiana. This was a nice travel day down I-10 into Louisiana, to Baton Rouge, where we did [...]
Breakfast in Beaumont
The blog has been pretty quiet over the last few months, since I’ve been pretty-much sitting in Austin, working my job. Now, things are looking different, at least for the next week. We’ve decided to spend the rest of winter, and maybe a bit of spring, with my parents in Delray Beach, FL. We left [...]
On eBooks
I’m posting a link to ‘me-ander’ who pretty much summed up my opinion on eBooks better than I could. http://me-ander.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-hope-my-neighbor-doesnt-convert-to.html I love to read on my Android phone, using the Aldiko reader, but I don’t buy content that way. I download free content, but still read paper books.
Sittin’ in Fort Stockton, TX
Into every life a little rain must fall. For full time RVers this usually manifests itself as mechanical difficulties.
Deep in the Heart of Texas (3/13/10)
We’re making progress. Left El Paso about 8 AM this morning. On arriving at Van Horn (beep-beep) we found that we had entered the central time zone. We advanced our watches an hour, from 11:30 to 12:30. Since we had eaten a large breakfast at Flying J, we weren’t yet hungry, so we continued on [...]
Another Saturday Night…
Had a lovely Shabbat. Started Friday night with candles, wine, challah and brisket. Got the brisket just right by cooking at 200F for about five hours. Did it with carrots and potatoes in the roasting pan. Also gefilte fish. We use the frozen loaf kind. I bought four of them, took a clean hacksaw blade, [...]
Willcox, AZ to Deming, NM (3/3/10)
So… We spent a very quiet day in Willcox, and this morning, we “moved house” as the English say, down the road about 150 miles to Deming. This town is pronounced with a short E, so it sounds like lemming. On our way hither, we passed through Lordsburg, where I photographed the Masonic Lodge and [...]
Willcox, AZ (3/1/2010)
Not much to report. We did a day of driving, skipped a bunch of nice tourist possibilities, and are camped at the Elks Lodge in Willcox, AZ, where we will stay two nights. I have a day of work to do tomorrow, and we’d like to get some laundry done. It was a frustrating day [...]
