Regular Life: September 2005
http://meandelvis.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Life consists of what a man is thinking of every day. - Emerson. Thursday, September 29, 2005. The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful. Categorized. Muir Woods, Monterey Bay, etc. I got 27 pages into An American Tragedy. But dropped it like a brick (which it resembles at 800 pages) when I found a borrowed copy of Ringworld. I'm getting back into sci-fi after a long hiatus. Thanks to Simon of Space. Probably going to see the Serenity. Serenity is a Firefly-class cargo ship). I think sticking with...

Back to 13: Ben's Day of Firsts in Two States
http://backto13.blogspot.com/2005/09/bens-day-of-firsts-in-two-states.html
This blog chronicles our vacation back to the cradle of the US, where the 13 colonies started it all. Yes, there were people here before that, but this is not the blog for that discussion. I will update it with text and pictures. Every day, if possible. Monday, September 05, 2005. Ben's Day of Firsts in Two States. We managed to see the beach on our first full day here – sort of. The point is, if it says it was posted at 12:15 am on September 4, that entry probably covers September 3. Got it? While Shann...

I will update it with text and pictures. Every day, if possible. Monday, September 05, 2005. The pics from the beach are online. Now, you need a little back story to understand why this took us a little longer than you might think. Back to real life. Until mid to late October, from what we’ve heard. I'm so glad that yo...

See a picture of the peaceful times, one the calm before the storm, here. Unfortunately, Ben self-destructed on the last leg. I ended up loading our secret weapon &#...

Um, why are Greenies in there with those cookies? Ben's gramma got a concerned look on her face. "Mark, you didn't eat one of the cookies, did you? The re...

Regular Life: Bessie's True Colors
http://meandelvis.blogspot.com/2005/11/bessies-true-colors.html
Life consists of what a man is thinking of every day. - Emerson. Sunday, November 20, 2005. At one point when I lived in Fort Smith, Arkansas, when I was a new kid in town trying to prove himself, I did something rather stupid. I couldn’t have just painted my face. Okay, painted my face again. Faintly, as if under the surface, my artwork still shone through. I hadn’t read Macbeth. Yet, so I didn’t know to say, “Out, out, damn spot! That is, until I mangled her beyond recognition. I was innocently driving...

Life consists of what a man is thinking of every day. - Emerson. Tuesday, November 15, 2005. My mobile phone rang as I swigged motel orange juice from a tiny foam cup. The storms had let up a little from the night before. 8220;This is Mark.”. 8220;Are you joining us today? 8221; the man on the other end asked. 8220;Yes, at 7:30, right? He replied, politely, “No, it’s at 7:00.”. 8220;Oh, jeez. Yes, I’m just at the Super 8. I’m on my way.” I glanced at my watch. 7:09. 8220;So, we’re okay for today? Clearly...
