TD's Rarely Blogged Blog: February 2009
http://tdandspot.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
TD's Rarely Blogged Blog. Sunday, February 15, 2009. Six: a legendary elk on an iconic landscape. Dateline: Gardiner, Montana. I don’t have many claims to fame, and some of those are sufficiently dubious that I don’t care to recall them. I can, however, make this assertion with confidence:. I spent more time, eyeball to eyeball, with Elk Number Six than did any other human being. Night My relationships with friends and one lover were temporarily damaged by Six. I lost weight. Sometimes I damn nea...I got...

TD's Rarely Blogged Blog. Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Within four hours, Cape Breton had replaced the horizon featureless horizon of the North Atlantic on starboard. Two hours later, with little fanfare and considerably less shouting, gesturing, exhaust fumes and general complexity than my last superferry deboarding (February 2010), I set foot on the mainland of North America for the first time in over two years. A) joking that 30% of my truck was now comprised of Canadian auto parts; or.

TD's Rarely Blogged Blog: A little validation goes a long way
http://tdandspot.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-little-validation-goes-long-way.html
TD's Rarely Blogged Blog. Sunday, August 5, 2012. A little validation goes a long way. A little before 5am on the morn of my 42. Birthday, I left the Cataloochee Valley. The Catalooch, as it is locally known, is in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and, moreover, it’s where I currently live. This secluded valley is visited by a tiny minority ( thousands) of the million-strong throngs who explore more well-known sites along the main thoroughfare of the park. His combat medic background allowed him to ra...

TD's Rarely Blogged Blog. Thursday, April 26, 2012. Friday: Corner Brook, or as close to the west coast (of Newfoundland) as I can get. Saturday: mainland North America and all points east. I leave the Rock in the same manner in which I arrived - a six to ten hour ferry ride (let's hope for six, shall we? So, in sum, tomorrow begins another series of days lived entirely on the road (or in the belly of a superferry) with most of my life on my back, much like a turtle or a snail. I hope to make better ...

TD's Rarely Blogged Blog: It Begins
http://tdandspot.blogspot.com/2010/09/it-begins.html
TD's Rarely Blogged Blog. Monday, September 6, 2010. The Poop Neareth the Fan. Let the Games Begin. Dateline: St. John’s, Newfoundland (that’s in Canada). I went to Signal Hill today, desperately to avoid the MUN campus and its attendant crowds of undergrads and families carrying furniture and musical instruments into the dorms. Being the tail end of the Labor Day holiday (excuse me, Labour Day), I was surrounded by tourists. Still, better that than the activity on campus, resembling as it does a dis...
