I love Craigslist. I don't post often, though I have before.  I don't really respond all that often either. I just enjoy the raw nature of it. There so much passion in a missed connection. There's so much excitement in seeking a companion. There are so many new possibilities and opportunities. There so much freedom [...]

I feel like I need to keep writing, even when I don't know what result I'm seeking. I have nothing to explain, because I don't even understand it myself. I have nothing to share because I feel as though with each passing day I get closer and closer to a complete stop. Stagnant. I have [...]

He carefully slid his arm out from under her neck, sliding just a bit more to his side of the long, worn bench seat of his pickup truck. As the last rays of sun were burning up over the mountain top, he stared at her, watching her chest rise and fall with each sleeping breath. [...]

It's currently 12:51pm. But, if all goes well, you won't see this until 1:15pm (central time). But that didn't work so I'm trying again for 10:00pm.
One of you let me know if it works.

I think I'm a target for broken things — broken anything. From techology, to things bought in various stores, to that too-emo-for-my-age feeling that even most of my relationships are broken in some way.
I go into a Starbucks with a simple purpose: get some Caffiene before going back to work so I don't fall asleep [...]

This is Celeste being bathed in a wash bucket at my In-Law's Summer Camp in Northern Ontario. I love this photograph for more reasons than I can possibly list.
The concept of a "Summer Camp" to those that don't live in the North is probably quite foreign. In fact, if it conjures any image at all, [...]

Good Morning from Anchorage.
Since the sun's already up, I don't have to worry about my desire to get any where before sunrise. It nice and overcast which means great things for photography opportunities today. I'm pretty sure I'm taking the route through Watertown this morning, though I've got no one to answer to so I [...]

There's a small, growing, unnamed peace that can be found in releasing concern. I was tempted to use say "that can be found in not caring", but there is a difference. That subtle difference is what leads allows this to lead to peace instead of frustration. The Buddhists definitely have something there.
Last night I wanted [...]

I'm a bit scattered this morning, so I'm sure this will flow in a similar fashion. Ugh.
I'm pretty sure I'm not taking the Ferry from Tobermory. Sure, I might change my mind at the last minute and hope for the best but, the added travel time just doesn't make sense considering how eager I am [...]

On Friday I'm Toronto bound. It's about a 4 hour drive, and I have 9 hours or more to make it in (Kim is meeting me at 5pm).
These are my options:

I can take my time in Rochester, Buffalo, and Niagra Falls. Maybe pick out some state parks or look for some industrial areas to visit.
I [...]
