A long , slow, day!
Days like today are often quite nice. I woke up later than I intended in the hotel. A slight inconvenience, but getting a nice breakfast under my belt was definitely a plus. The drive was not bad, I am now out of Maryland and into Delaware, about nine miles from the New Jersey State border.…

No matter how good you are to a goat, it will still eat your yam!
Another African proverb that I thought was funny and slightly odd . . . until yesterday when it became really true. I have just wrapped up three days at Assateague Island National Seashore. I came in hopes of seeing the wild horses, and my hopes were sated two minutes after I drove down the bridge…

Looking Back . . .
. . . on the past week, it has been a vertical learning curve in many ways. First, there is living in my car, sleeping on my car, cooking in the back of my car . . . my car is a mess!! LOL I had thought that I packed in a logical and space-conscious…

It’s a start!
I have started, stopped, deleted and started again on this blog so many times . . . trying to get it right . . . the repeated failings are frustrating . . . but I really need to get this done . . . so . . . let us try this yet again .…
