Change of Plan

August 28, 2006 – 3:53 pm

As usual, things don’t always turn out as you plan. I’m back from the Sierra Nevada a couple days early. The plan was to dive into the Sierra over Lamarck Col. Then head out of Darwin Canyon, up the vast granite bowl of the Evolution Basin, over Muir Pass, down LeConte Canyon, up to Dusy [...]

Back To Hollywoodland

April 1, 2006 – 12:07 am

So the return trip drags. Way too much time is spent waiting in terminals and on tarmacs. The Doctor Pepper beverage service on the return trip is no where near as tasty as it was on the way out. And after a week of high-altitude, clear-sky serenity it’s almost a relief to be picked up [...]

If this is the top post when you’re reading this, I’m probably on a plane to L.A.

New Mexico Post Script

March 31, 2006 – 4:22 pm

I’m on my way back today folks. So hide the silverware and all that. It’s been the longest week I’ve had in some time. It’s the key to eternal life, I think. Keeping busy. Don’t slow down. Avoid ruts. You’ll live three or four lifetimes.
This is the sky from the driveway of my parents’ home. [...]

Santa Fe Webcam

March 30, 2006 – 2:53 pm

By coincidence, my brother calls me when we’re downtown Santa Fe this afternoon, so he checks the plaza webcam. There we are (I’m the one on the right doing the weird dance.)

March 30, 2006 – 8:30 am

Damn. I just lost my ride back from the airport. Anyone in the vicinity of Burbank Friday at nine PM? Pick me up! Thanks, Mandy!

Montezuma, NM

March 29, 2006 – 9:31 pm

This is Dorothy Keightley. She gave birth first to my dad, then to his three brothers and two sisters. She lives in Montezuma, which is a few miles north of Las Vegas, which is about sixty miles east of Santa Fe. She’s the one I always brag about to others over drinks at parties and [...]

Tortillas

March 29, 2006 – 8:12 am

If you’re ever in doubt as to whether you’re in New Mexico or not, just check the local grocery store shelves. The tortillas are all locally made, with the exception of a teeny tiny stack of one particular Texas Brand. Choices are good.

This is in a Lowe’s market in Las Vegas, New Mexico. My brother [...]

Back to Santa Fe

March 28, 2006 – 7:33 am

On Sunday I leave Joy and Denver behind and head back down to Santa Fe. This is the playlist for the drive:

William Orbit: Hello Waveforms (mellow, contemplative, somewhat depressing, which is appropriate for one leaving Joy behind.)
Dane Cook: Harmful If Swallowed (a bit of sparkly comedy to make me giggle.)
Earlimart: Treble and Tremble (one of [...]

Balloon Man

March 27, 2006 – 8:19 pm

One more photo from Boulder. This guy’s making fun balloon animals. He has just asked the girl what she wants. I don’t know what she answers. But I would have asked him to make me Ebola.
