The Chronic Novelist
Random oddities.
We have arrived. Almost. We're about 10 minutes from the apartment in a Comfort Inn. Tomorrow we get the keys and the movers arrive with half of our stuff. The other half will show up in the Pod on Wednesday. Then we get to play, where the hell did we pack that. About that picture. …
We made it to Oregon some 1,040 miles from where we started. We have another 284 to go to get to Portland. By then we will be above these wild fires. We drove through some pretty burned up areas. The air is kind of smokey too. It's a little unsettling. According to the map there …
Actually this is the, what day of the week is it, day. It seems like we've been doing this for a while. The rest should go quick as they are all overnight stops. The boys are really into the swing of things. Beetlejuice is having the most fun. Jack is being a Jack hiding but …
There is not much to talk about yesterday. It was just the drive from Anaheim to Vasillia Ca. Though the route did go past Six Flags Magic Mountain. I always wanted to go there. I suppose if I didn't have to cats in the car with me I might have stopped. Today we went to …
No driving today just a lot of walking. It was Disneyland time. My first time and the first ride, Space Mountain. I've been wanting to ride that since I was a little kid. Made it to the Indiana Jones ride, Haunted Mansion, and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I also talked Jamie into Splash Mountain. I …
Here we are in Anaheim. I'm going to be 50 this December but I've finally made it to Disneyland. Beetlejuice and Mr. Jack aren't too impressed, but they're only kitties. Myself I want to go on Space Mountain. This was the longest leg of our drive, a little over 5 hours. The traffic in California …
The truck and pod are loaded and on there way. Took the kittens and ourselves to a motel for the night. The call of a real bed was just too hard to ignore. At least the money from the closing on the house is in our bank account. Now all the questions pop into my …
One thing I've been seeing pop up on social media is the phrase, "toxic masculinity." My problem is that I think this reduces the underlying problem. There is nothing toxic about being a man, or a woman for that matter. The problem is being a belligerent ass. The problem is this, "if I'm winning you …
I've noticed, as I am sure other librarians have, an influx of people searching online for jobs and struggling. Not with finding employment, but with the computer. Many do not have email accounts, or if they do they cannot remember their login credentials. It creates a whole extra hurdle to what already is a difficult …
So, here is my first post of 2018 and it's a cliche. A funny thing happened this past weekend. My website was ready for it's annual renewal of the hosting, domains and. email. My wallet was not ready. I still had this older site, which you may or may not remember, and decided not to …
