Pooter and Cooter’s Keepin’ it Real: 20 Years of Tears, 2011 

       I’d almost forgotten about Vagabond Joe (as I like to call him), until someone mentioned the guy on yesterday’s blog post, “Map of Athens, 1987”. He refered to him as Traveling John, and I don’t know if that was his name or not, but I’ve come to remember him as Vagabond Joe.       Vagabond […]

This is a map I drew of Athens in 1987.       If you can enlarge the image, here are a few things to look for: East Hill (or Bong Hill), where Joe, Robert, Jason, and I are sitting (apparently with our dog, Bugggs, who was never on East Hill).      You’ll see our High School off […]

     I have a long and odd history with Chess. This is a quick sketch I did minutes before my Wednesday evening Chess game with J.W. tonight.        J.W. is a good player, plays often via internet with players he’s never met.

      I lived decadently this week (or perhaps much of my life) when it comes to food: It seems most of my favorite foods are all bad for me. This is very depressing, and I’ve decided to live a vegan lifestyle now, starting today. I will still eat yummy, healthy foods, but as for my favorites — Alas! […]

     This is from a party that combined my and Leah’s Half-Birthdays and my Move from Seattle back to Ohio.  It was my first time to celebrate a Birthday in the summer. It was an outdoor, barefoot, grilled hotdog, and evening campfire party. Lovely!       Happy Half-Birthday to Bethany and Leah! (Bethany’s half-Birthday really is […]
