…so there were a lot of things to do here at the ranch. Apollo and I agreed that we’d walk early, while it was still cool. And we did. After a rewriting session (more on that anon), we grabbed our shoes at 7:30 and took a turn around the neighborhood. We always see something newContinue reading “Nesting at the Lucky Dog Ranch”

I am creator…
…I told myself that I was being unfocused, and then to prove it to myself, I made a little poem about it. Then I didn’t resist the urge to sit down and record the thing.

…Apollo and I have a new home as of about a two weeks ago. (I’m still looking for where some of that time went. It feels like we just got here — and we certainly haven’t settled in yet.) The experience of having a place to ourselves is interesting. We haven’t done that for manyContinue reading “My (our) new apt.”
