Mauri’s at the coast to help lead four week-long retreats at Harbor Villa. Since he’s been doing this for several Januarys now, he’s learned how to settle into the nice space provided for him, making it “home.” The organizers provide good meals, but sometimes, especially now that he’s on Weight Watchers, he likes to have [...]

When we walked past a FedEx truck in Breckenridge, Dusty asked if we’d ever seen the arrow in the FedEx logo. I hadn’t.
Raise your hand if you see it.

While the washing machine and the microwave do my work for me, I’ll sit here with my laptoy and show you what I found today.

Mauri still likes to experiment with his SLR digital Pentax, taking it to the nearby wildlife sanctuary on gray days like today to shoot what he sees through his telephoto lens.

I finally got IKEA out of my system today. Ever since a store opened in Portland (by the airport) last summer I’ve wanted to find an opening in my days to drive out and look around, get acquainted with its floor plan, pick up a few things. I flew in early from Wichita this morning [...]

• I can hardly wait to share this with you! I actually went and bought the video download so I can keep it forever and ever.
• Here’s a timely piece. I really like his viewpoint.

My sister-in-law Margi and I meet for “coffee” every Tuesday night while our husbands are at brass rehearsal. We talk about lots of things, but one of my favorite topics of late is stuff. I’ve been on a deaccumulation kick for several years now and relish the freedom I feel whenever I release my attachments [...]
