Feeling Campy
I have been thinking about campfires lately. Maybe it is because summer is calling and we all want to be outside. Or it could be that I have been watching, “A Week Away”, on Netflix too much. Whatever the reason, … Continue reading
The Longest Journey
Grab your oxygen masks, buy a new pair of wool socks, make friends with a mule, and gird yourself for the mightiest journey. Behold the walk from my couch to my bed. Ernest Shackleton would not ask his descendants to … Continue reading
Trying Out: 2017 Index
Trying Out: The Wrap-Up I survived. I told myself I would try to do something new or challenging every week. Some were a bit much. Some were rather mundane. But I did one each week. (I did take a week … Continue reading

Trying Out: Trespassing (Week 36)
Trying Out: Standing on Shaky Legal Ground (Week Thirty-Six) Pardon me for being vague here, but the fewer details the better. This time I did something on the fuzzy side of legal. Once upon a time I was allowed regular … Continue reading
Trying Out: The Local Mosque (Week 33)
Trying Out: Idris Mosque (Week Thirty-Three) I had a brief course on world religions during my Social Studies class. Hearing about a thing from a teacher is one thing. Hearing about it from someone who cares passionately is another. The … Continue reading
Trying Out: Skydiving (Week 31)
Trying Out: Plummeting thousands of feet and not dying (Week Thirty-One) It is silly to suggest that I am brave enough to jump out of a plane. It courts death, is sheer lunacy, and involves a risky nature that I … Continue reading

Trying Out: Escape Room (Week 18)
Week Eighteen: Time Escape I had no personal experience with escape rooms. I had heard of them. A feature on a Castle DVD was the cast trying to go through one. I thought to myself, Look at those guys. Running … Continue reading
