"Who is Elijah?"

I know that back in the day a person had to own a set of encyclopedias or go to the library to find information, but we live in the misinformation age. When I'm reading and I come across a word, be it a person, place, or thing, that I don't know, I look the damn thing up. Come on people. Learn to use a search engine.

Fly Away Time














It was inevitable that I would fall behind on my blog as I have on everything else. Here's an update.

We held my dad's memorial the first weekend in August. It was beautiful.

I'm too lazy to label all of these pictures, but as long as it doesn't get screwed up when I post it, my descriptions will at least be in order.

Our guides.
A shot of the San Juans.
Dad's view from his cairn.
Artsy pic of the landscape reflected in Riotimus's shades. Before you talk smack consider that it was done from the back of a moving horse.
That line of strata is called Table Mountain.
Bones of the earth.
Dad mounted up for his last ride.
The two amigos and one amiga (amigoas?) that made it possible.
Above the clouds. From where this picture was taken we kept going up and up and up well past the tree line.

Things have been going well in my writing tutor endeavors. I'm improving as a writer and as a teacher.

My fiction writing is going well. I just finished a complete rewrite of the flawed first chapter of the novel. I'm pretty pleased with it at the moment. Of course, I workshop it tomorrow, so Wednesday I might be singing a different song.

That's all I've got for now.
