Personal Thoughts and Changes Noted
This window to the world is taking way too much of my time, better spent on things that I enjoy more.
I was naive to think that I wanted to use this as a point of connection to others. I don't. It just sucks time out of my day, and leaves me dissatisfied.
Adios, websters, it's all yours!

My Bigun turned five months, yesterday. At day break we walked over the Eads Bridge, again, and explored downtown St. Louis. It started raining soon after we left the RV, but he pressed on, questioning my sanity with only an occasional glance, as if to make sure I noticed. 
Across Locust from the Main Library we found a small dog park with a man and his dog -- a female about twice Bigun's size, playing ball. I asked if we might join them and he agreed, but the dogs had only a brief...

We spent some time listening to Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" and have completed only the first two chapters. It's been an amazing help to me in Staying Present.
The thing is, now that I am HERE, what?
It occurs to me that I've been soooooo hooked into my ego and emotional waves that I've lost my "taste" for everyday life. I've never thought of myself of a "drama queen" but perhaps there is an element of that, in here.
Years ago,...

Keeping up with Bigun's exercise needs -- now up to five miles a day, is wearing on these 53 year old knees. We've tried to find him a dog park, and finally succeeded yesterday in Kansas City.
The dog park was a bust. An aggressive boxer that started five fights with smaller dogs in the half hour we were there put us off, and seemed to raise the assertiveness of the other dogs in the park. (Isn't there so often one that has to ruin things?)
Anyway, we took him back to the...

DH, Bigun and I recently visited Atchison, KS. It was a return trip for me, having first gone in '97 to gather information for a novel I'd tried (and failed) to write. I was captured by it, and Amelia, then and again. It's a great small town that hides its treasures from casual view. One must get out and walk its streets to be touched by it.
Though the town displays its love of Amelia Earhart, as her birthplace, it has many gifts aside from her lingering presence. It's a place worth...
