Peewees in Adventureland
Random Road Ramblings
When you are throwing up it’s hard to wax poetic, but afterward it’s a different story, isn’t it?
Emeril’s Table 10 in Las Vegas is not the typical restaurant Irene and I would eat in. We are far too frugal for that, but this one time it seemed like a good idea. We hadn’t eaten at [...]

April 26, 2010 in Eating, Meaning of Life, People We've Met, Places We've Been, RVing and Motorhomes, Thoughts In RV-land, many of the parks where we stay begin to seem similar. This is, of course, a matter of design….true RV parks will consistently have certain features that we’ve come to depend upon. Among them are sewer hook-ups, 50-AMP electrical power, good water pressure, aisles wide enough to drive a big-rig without forcing walking passers-by [...]

As is now ordinary for us, having done virtually the same thing two years ago, we came last Sunday to Missoula, became re-captivated by this area’s many charms and subsequently spent all of one day (today, in fact) racking up over 100 miles driving the city from one end to the other, two increasingly car-sick but [...]

We have traveled through the Upper Michigan Peninsula, where we stayed in the self-proclaimed moose capital of the U.S., albeit a place where the owner of the RV park admitted she had never seen a moose in the 17 years she had been there, “although we have seen EVIDENCE of moose, if you know what [...]

KOA stands for, irritatingly, a perhaps intentially-mispelled Campgrounds of America, and apparently at one time was a force among RV Campgrounds, and still might be if you still habitually harbor the small, young, loud and unwashed, and by this I don’t mean you…you are certainly no longer young…but it does include your children, or at [...]
The somewhat strange title of this piece has its origin, oddly, in an email sent to be long ago by Dr. Dennis, who, besides being a Ph.D. in something or other is also a Buddhist Monk, and it’s in that latter capacity that he wrote, saying that, in his tiny basement apartment sublet from someone [...]
Compared to these guys, I have no work ethic at all.
In fact, I’m sitting pretty today, typing away in an amazingly tasteful and even more comfortable customer lounge, (and, hey, you wanna look? Check it ooouuutttt….), Irene and I just waiting (and OH how we love waiting!) for six things to simultaneously get done on [...]

It may sound extreme, but I believe some people SHOULD die violent, ugly deaths, and, if possible, should then be temporarily resurrected so they can to die the same way again, if possible over and over again, like they were living out their own malevolent Groundhog Day movie. These people include the folks next door [...]
Albert and I left the Tiffin accounts-payable office at the same time the other morning, each of us with our paid receipt in hand. “How’d ya do?” he asked jovially…a warning sign that he had “done” better than I in an unspoken contest consistently played between us Tiffin owners and the Tiffin service center, where [...]
In the overall frame of things, life is comprised mainly of small things strung together without a lot of coherence…or so it seems to me. Those fundamentalist friends of mine that believe in predetermined destinies and so on tend to overlook the power of Free Will, but then again the Catholics, of whom I count [...]
