Return to the North Coast
The last few weeks have been something of an American Traveling Sandwich for me, with the Oregon Coast as the hearty bread and Wisconsin as the tasty filling (as well as bits of California spread in-between). This, then is the final slice.
Once again I headed to one of Oregon’s beautiful beaches for a family [...]

Night Wedding
I had a dream about our wedding last night. Which is strange because I don’t usually even think about weddings. But you were there, and we were going to get married I guess. It was in another country, somewhere I’ve never been, in a hotel with wide empty hallways.
Maybe it’s because I’ve [...]

three awesome pictures, three modes of time, and Aaron melts down
so today.
I’m kind of tired. Besides working a full day at work, Ed and I picked up a spare refrigerator from his grandma’s house and continued rearranging the apartment to prepare for Kyle’s immanent arrival as Third Roommate!! I actually scrubbed the kitchen floor, too.
And we found this spider outside!
Good soul food was [...]

AugustWisconsin diary — Chicago
Saturday
(this post contains numerous pictures, two haikus, a list with two sublists, a couple of cultural/philosophical musings as well as a plea for prayer and *gasp* no puns?? — read on!)
Erin woke me up around seven, which seemed rather unreasonably early to me, and now that I think about it, it was five in the [...]

Wisconsin/August diary
Friday
The miracles of the jet age: it takes about three days to drive from California to Wisconsin, at least if you stop to sleep, but if you get a non-stop flight it’s only three hours! For a seasoned traveler like myself, that’s nothing! It’s like a walk in the park. However, last [...]

Cross Country part II
Back now from Wisconsin again. These last few weeks have brought back the feeling that I live only in airports, and everything that happens between the baggage claim and the concourse are like extended dream sequences. The flights and waiting rooms that are my duller waking hours keep everything separated — the dreams [...]

Cross-country
create your own visited states map
or check out these Google Hacks.
So I think these are all the states I’ve been to or driven through (just airport stops don’t count). Erin will probably correct me if I’m wrong, as I imagine she knows better than I do. I’m pretty proud of myself — [...]

40 days of prayer
I’m starting this Forty Days of Prayer thing at www.urbana.org today. Anyone care to join me?
It’s like we can be on the ark, or in the belly of a giant fish, or whatever, all at the same time! What else took 40 days to finish?
anyway, I’m excited about this!
and now I really really [...]
