I have this weird compulsion.
I know what you’re thinking. But it’s not that. Not even close. No, the compulsion has to do with rocks. I love rocks. I love climbing them, collecting them, and getting hot stone massages. And I especially like throwing them into and at bodies of water.

Bienvenidos, mis peeps, a mi casa loca.
This week’s “deep thoughts corner” deals a bit with acceptance, freak out, and inner weirdness. In other words, pretty much what most of us do all the damn time. I’ve been thinking a lot about things like the past and how heavy it can get if you carry it [...]

Greetings, mis peeps.

All this talk about zombies and ribcages got me to thinking about armageddon.

Jogging. Here in the holler. Minding my own business.
Okay, and maybe other people’s, too. Kind of goes with the territory in a small town. You may LOOK like you’re minding your own business, but the reality is, you’re minding everybody else’s, too. You’re looking around, scoping the neighborhood, seeing who’s out and about, who’s not. [...]

And good morning to y’all. I’m on Mountain Standard Time here, so it is, in fact, morning still. I’m now set up in Paonia, Colorado (look it up–fly speck on the map, friends) and working my ass off at a western-based issues newspaper. Check it out: www.hcn.org. That’s High Country News. I haven’t worked a [...]
