Woohoo!

Today I was offered (and tomorrow I will accept) a position for a job in the 5400. It’s official, I’ll have a job before I actually move.
That is all.

Good Times!

Thanksgiving at Kathryn’s sister and brother-in-law’s place in Denver was a hoot. Rather than write about them without permission, I’ll just summarize the whole event by saying her family is remarkably free of those tensions that plague other families at holidays.
I’m back in the 5400, preparing for work tomorrow and a much more important event [...]

Amidst the Chaos

Moving is never an easy thing, and I don’t consider myself very good at it. I grew up and technically lived in the same house until I moved to Denver in 2005. I moved back and forth from BH to L-town every fall and summer, but packing up a dorm room that can fit almost [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

As Trout and I get ready to head down to The Ranch to enjoy lots and lots of food, wine, football and everything else that comes along with this great holiday, I must share my good news, briefly, before heading out for the remainder of the week.
Yesterday, I gave my two weeks notice at YB [...]

Coming Soon

Big news will soon be featured here at Explorers Are We.
Yes that’s right, you heard it here, folks. Months in the making, this news, and not being able to write about it, has caused the content of this blog to disintegrate rather quickly. But soon, all will be corrected. Sure, sure I’ve [...]

Just a Song Before I Go

Hey gang. I’m off to work in a few minutes and I’m not sure when I’ll post again – I’m heading to Denver for Thanksgiving and may or may not squeeze in a post.
Therefore, I thought I’d plug one of my favorite sites. As an occasional guitarist and mild Deadhead, I stumbled upon rukind.com a [...]

I Should Be Working

[Instead, I wrote a poem tonight. Not sure about the first stanza or last line. - Ed.]

Early in the morning, clouds are footprintsthrough a living room after a party.
A neighborhood dog covers the basics first:what has changed out heresince it circled and settled into bed,warm and content? What is still here?
It doesn’t bark at me [...]

The Best Part of Waking Up? Eah. Maybe…

Trout loves his morning coffee. He has tried to kick the habit, but still starts his morning with a nice, black cup of the magic sauce. When either of us visits one another, mornings always start out with obtaining coffee in some way. Usually this means an early morning outing to Starbucks, [...]

C 20

[I wrote this poem sometime within the past two years. For the record, I have no idea what in the hell I was trying to get at. - Ed.]

Forged and cast intojerking trusses, nouns are verbedor worse. Take the French, for example,who say things like“le weekend,” or ourown digital messages punched outon cell phones, where [...]

I realize that I should feel really good about voting this past Tuesday. It was the first time I actually voted at a polling center. The only other time I voted (in the 2004 election) I voted by absentee ballot. I felt that whole process was very anticlimactic, voting weeks before the [...]
