I don't have anything new to report. Here I sit. I apply for jobs that I think I'd like. I go on hikes around town. I watch some TV and surf the internet. The weather has been glorious. Some winter-like weather has moved in, finally. It has been an interesting month. The adjustment to a new city has gone as well as it can go, I think. But still, I'm having an existential crisis of sorts.I wonder

I have moved into a small apartment. I'm just sitting here, bored. I know no one in Albuquerque, except the innkeeper whom I met when I first got here (nice, but all business), and my apartment manager (nice, business-like, still really nice). My husband is still not with me...I hope to see him before too long. I am hoping he'll get here by Christmas Eve, anyway.I'm enjoying the quiet time and

So...here I am. I'm sitting at the computer, about the only thing left in our cute rental where we've been living for a year and a half. Furniture is gone. Clothing is getting boxed up. The TV is still on, but tomorrow it too will be boxed, as will this computer. It has been a long, strange trip here in Louisville. I've had good jobs, rediscovered singing, lost my dog, been laid off from the best

Tired from a tough hike? Rescuers fear Yuppie 911 - Yahoo! NewsThese people! When we had the outfitting store at the edge of one of the most hazardous and remote desert environments in the Southwest, people who had never hiked in the desert would come in and demand--yes, demand--to know overland routes that stretched for miles, where no water would be found. AND it would be July or August. I

First sweat lodge survivor speaks out - Yahoo! NewsI've sort of been following this story, because I helped to build and participated in a sweat lodge ceremony in 2006.

The National Parks: The Super-Rich's Greatest Idea by Gary NorthI have been enjoying the PBS documentary on the national parks. A large chunk of my adult life, and my relationship with my spouse, has been spent in a beautiful park or monument.I love nature. I am grateful that somebody rich enough could buy up the lands and preserve it 100 years ago so I, too, could see it in its natural state.

Here's a quote that has been rolling around in my head since last Wednesday:When it happens to somebody else, it's a recession. When it happens to you, it's a depression. (I think Mike Shedlock over at GlobalEconomicAnalysis.blogspot.com said this...If not, apologies. He writes a killer blog.)I was laid off last Wednesday from the only corporate job I've ever truly enjoyed. The architecture

I'm sitting here staring at my diploma. It's sort of different in that it is formatted vertically as opposed to the typical horizontal style of diploma. It is framed, and it has followed me around the United States wherever I have been.

I rarely travel alone. It's not that I'm incapable of doing so, it's just that I don't get a chance to do it very often. Lately, I've had a lot on my mind. The economy sucks, therefore I work a lot less and get paid less than I did. And my job could go away at any moment, which would make me very sad. The whole moving-to-the-Southwest plan sort of looms in the background like a thunderstorm in

I think I may have to go out on a limb here and express who I am a little more clearly. I know that my sensibilities and understanding of things does not really line up with any political party. This is confusing to people that I meet when I start talking about politics and the economy. They think I'm a liberal...but no, wait! Wait. I'm conservative. No, wait...what kind of person is this coyote

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Billy Mays. Of all the celebrity deaths of late, his has struck me the most deeply. I had just starting watching "Pitchmen" on Discovery Channel and I loved it. Anthony Sullivan and Billy had the most fun making money that I've seen anywhere in a long time, and when you own your own business the fun part is the best and the biggest part of that. Sadly, his

In the past, I've written about the things that I'm thankful for on Independence Day. I think I skipped last year because I was in a bad mood for a few months over the summer--and although I was grateful for many things, I was not very happy at the time, and not in the mood to wax poetic. Mercifully, today I'm re energized about being a free person and I'm ready to make my list of things that

Happiness. What is it, really? At freedomainradio.com, there is a video podcast entitled "Happiness, pt.1." Stefan Molyneux says that happiness is derived from living a moral, honest, self-actualized life, and appreciating the people that are part of that.Happiness is not "stuff," nor is it money...it's being honest with yourself in your life.

They were passionate, earnest, and very serious about their belief that gold was the only thing that investors should be buying.What is it about gold? Why isn't foil more valuable? It certainly has more uses. Why do people like yellow shiny stuff? What is this obsession? I can't feel

I'm singing again and I didn't imagine, even three years ago, that I'd be doing the things that I'm doing with my voice now. I just couldn't figure out how, when I lived in the most remote town in the lower 48, life would ever lead me back to music.Serendipity, I guess, exists and is stranger than fiction. I moved to a place where an old music friend lived, AND happened to direct a decent choir.

Ok.Clearly, I was a little high on January warm weather and that killer Bloody Mary in New Orleans. I fully own up to not being in a normal state of mind during my visit to my temporary--but truly beloved--home town. Yes. I was out of it. But I had an insight I couldn't wait to put into words! And I'm damn proud of my break with whatever IT is that has been stifling my freestyle writing. Writing

Hello all who follow.I've been busy in Louisvile (wow--Freudian typo--I mean Louisville) leading up to the holidays, and I now find myself happily relaxed in the loving arms of my old home place in New Orleans. I've been on walks through all the old neighborhoods I came to know and love so well during our brief tenure in this ancient port city. New Year's Day in New Orleans is sublime. I drank a

PickensPlan -- Boone on The Daily ShowWhen we were in Minneapolis, I spoke at length with people that had a tent set up on a sidewalk, pushing T. Boone Pickens' energy ideas.

Krugman and the NobelKrugman is interesting enough to listen to when he's talking; he doesn't make economic concerns complex, nor does he talk over his audience in his descriptions and assumptions.

The first McCain/Obama debate was absolutely horrible. For starters, the first question was about the EXTREMELY unpopular Wall Street bail out. Neither one would take a stand and say, "NO! I will not spend the people's money to bail out Wall Street." That was disappointing.I was frustrated for the rest of the debate. They both seemed woefully off their game, Obama more than McCain. It was as if,

I've never been to a political rally before, and I think the Rally for the Republic was a good first-time event. I was amazed at how many people from all over the country had come to show their support for Ron Paul.On Sunday, we got a glimpse of cars in the class parking lot from Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and California. That was no day-trip excursion for those folks, never mind that they

We wandered in downtown Minneapolis one afternoon; its architecture and art was captivating and entertaining, like the "bean" bronzes in front of the Federal Court House. The "bad bean" being carried away by the police in this sculpture (notice real police in the background) even had media coverage. See the "media" bean, below.Right across the street from the beans was city hall, a Richardsonian

Near the end of the Real Politics class, Ron Paul showed up to share some words of encouragement.Ever humble, he seemed honestly touched that so many people showed up for the class. He couldn't believe that we were actually "out there" and expressed his gratitude that we would even be interested in continuing the work that he began--the liberty message that took hold of so many--with his

Our visit to Minnesota began innocently enough. The drive up the state from the Wisconsin border along the Mississippi at sunset, weaving in and out of towering bluffs, was a peaceful, beautiful welcome.The next morning began the Rally for the Republic's Real Politics School. I signed us up on a whim, thinking that it would be a fun way to kill time before Ron Paul's Rally on Tuesday. My

There will be a lot to talk about, and I'll edit it as I am ready. But first things first...Minnesota is a state where Al Franken is running for office. I thought his campaign commercials would totally kick ass.I was wrong. They are not funny. Not interesting. Same sh*t different day campaign commercials. I am SO disappointed. Jesse Ventura's ads were SO much better--but more about him later.

It has been a year since we moved to the Bluegrass State. Somehow, the short span of time we spent in New Orleans between Utah and moving here seems like a strange dream. And after meeting my husband at the Louisville Airport twelve years ago, Utah and the Grand Canyon are beginning to seem like strange dreams, like we've made some kind of big circle in our lives and we're back to the beginning.

He held down the MSNBC fort quite admirably yesterday. I personally don't know how I would stay on live television talking for seven-plus hours about a friend and mentor who had just died and be able to hold it together. He is just that good. Tim Russert would have been proud.

Dennis Kucinich is delivering a speech outlining 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush as I write this. It's almost midnight on the east coast; I've been listening to him for awhile now, and I haven't heard one thing that I understand to be incorrect. It's the dirty laundry list of the idiocy of the president's politicization of his terms in office, choosing politics over doing the

I've missed Spring.Since 1997, I've spent Spring in the desert, where cactus blooms are usually in February or March, and not necessarily fragrant or prolific. Last year I spent Spring in New Orleans. Since it's green down there year-round, the Magnolia trees were really the only things that I noticed blooming. And they were so lovely. But Spring here...my god.Now that I am once again living in a

So I have a new job. I haven't told too many people about how it's going, because I've only been there a month. So I've decided to make a "pros" and "cons" list to better describe my new position by contrasting certain things about the respective offices:Old job: Cubicle in a skyscraper with no view, florescent light.New job: Large desk with a second story view of downtown from large windows that

"lost soul needs help"I saw these words this morning on the prayer list that sits in the back hallway at church. These were the only words on the page.No name. No other requests.I stared at the words for a long, long time. The service was about to start, and after I lingered a bit longer over the lone request, lost in my own thoughts, I went into the nave.I prayed for that person, the lost soul

Today is the day that the American Civil War started back in 1861. By 1863, the Army of the Confederate States of America had had a few significant victories, and were roaming beyond the Mason-Dixon Line, looking for a fight that would send the Army of the Potomac home for good and leave them to their private business, which included owning slaves.They got their wish on July 1, 1863, when they

Gray Wolf Hunts Planned After De-ListingI hate this. I understand, after living in the rural west, how ranchers and rednecks feel about wolves.

I also understand that if you are running a cattle ranch and your stock is being attacked by wolves, that you should be reimbursed for your loss. After all, a

So when we got here last June, we found a house for rent close to the family. It was a little farm house on the edges of Louisville that larger McMansions surrounded as the suburbs grew. Now that I've established a need to be closer to downtown with my position, we've decided to move again. It has been a very full year. First the move to Kentucky from New Orleans.

We're dust. And we'll return to dust. And we should remember that.What does wearing a smudge of ashes on your forehead have to do with remembering that, in the end, you're worm food?
