Fronting the Essentials: July 2005

Fronting the Essentials Man and Wheaten Terrier Meet the Wilderness. Thursday, July 28, 2005. July 23, 2005. While in town on the WiFi, I started researching my relocation back East, scanning Craig’s List for apartments and looking into a flight in September, and the whole thing threw me into a deep funk. The prospect of apartment life feels a bit like awaiting sentencing at Sing-Sing. It occurred to me I probably won’t even be able to grill! My puzzle came out in yesterday’s USA Today! July 24, 2005.

Fronting the Essentials Man and Wheaten Terrier Meet the Wilderness. Saturday, June 25, 2005. June 18 - 25. June 18, 2005. My little lamb-chop looks so different! The high point of my day: back from our trip to town, I made a cup of tea and opened a package from Jim Dowling, the contents of which included some 30 DVDs in sleeves in a sleek black binder-type case! June 19, 2005. Happy Father’s Day, Pa! My battles ended before they began,. And for that I’m grateful; those neon lips. I brought the camera al...

Fronting the Essentials: May 2005

Fronting the Essentials Man and Wheaten Terrier Meet the Wilderness. Wednesday, May 25, 2005. Week of May 17-24. May 17, 2005. I was finishing my coffee this morning, when Gus began barking. I went out to investigate, and discovered that he’d found himself a big garter snake, a Western species with red dots, more colorful than the Eastern ones I’m used to. I picked it up and placed it atop my chopping block so Gussie wouldn’t hurt it, and while it was there I got some good photos. While I was in Ashland,...

Fronting the Essentials Man and Wheaten Terrier Meet the Wilderness. Friday, October 21, 2005. October 20th - Final Post. Thus ends the greatest adventure of my life. Oregon seems awfully far away in terms of highway miles, but it’s still close in my heart. I have a feeling I’ll go back some day. Unpacking my things, I was happy to find some river teeth that I picked up along the Rogue. What are river teeth? Posted by Gary @ 6:21 PM. Wednesday, October 19, 2005. October 19, 2005.

Fronting the Essentials Man and Wheaten Terrier Meet the Wilderness. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. September 22 - 26. September 22, 2005. It’s 3:20, sunny and cool. Bees hover at the eaves. A squirrel is chirping. Gus is lying beside the La-Z-Boy. Seltzer whispers in the can. September 23, 2005. A little rain came through last night, so Bradley and Margery should have a nice drive in, very little dust. While in Eugene I chatted with Cecilia Hagen about The Christian Science Monitor. Birds of a Feather.

Fronting the Essentials: August 2005

Fronting the Essentials Man and Wheaten Terrier Meet the Wilderness. Thursday, August 25, 2005. August 15th - 25th. August 15, 2005. I’m back from my trip to Bend, which was just what the doctor ordered: a healthy dose of friendly, intelligent, artsy, kind, relaxed people; shared meals of excellent food; a hike along the Deschutes River through volcanic terrain and ponderosa pines; a reading; a hot tub; my very late discovery (in Audubon. Magazine) that the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is not extinct! In a de...

Fronting the Essentials: April 2005
http://garyjwhitehead.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Fronting the Essentials Man and Wheaten Terrier Meet the Wilderness. Monday, April 25, 2005. Tuesday, April 19, 2005. Grants Pass was pretty much as I imagined it would be a modern town with a historic downtown district which is quaint and western. I quickly found the post office, and got my keys to the P.O. box. The postmistress said, Boy, you have a lot of mail! About a quarter mile before the first gate, I was welcomed by an owl! I had letters from dad and Neil Curry and a few students. It felt ni...
