I know it’s an old superstition, but the little white dog two doors down keeps yapping, I’m having trouble sleeping, and the last few days have just been too weird. First of all, Doug and I keep hurting ourselves. 1) Guinness was lying on one of the stairs a few nights ago and Doug almostContinue reading “Must be a full moon”

Home Sweet Home
When I last left off, Doug and I had filled out a rental application for a brand new townhouse in Green River, Rock Springs’ sister city. While we had a good feeling that the rental agent liked us, we were not content to sit on our laurels – not when the rental market is soContinue reading “Home Sweet Home”
Grabbing Hold of Wyoming
We arrived safe and relatively sound in Rock Springs on Sunday afternoon after what seemed like the longest four hours of our lives.

Things were pretty uneventful until my second shift of driving when I had to slowContinue reading “Here in Lapeer (Michigan)!”

To really experience a place you need to do what the locals do, go where the locals go, and eat what the locals eat. That’s why when I lived in Montreal I bought a black leather coat and wentContinue reading “When in Wyoming”
Moving to Wyoming!
For the past few months, as many of you know, Doug has been on the job hunt. After 2 ½ years in a Master’s program, he launched into the rollercoaster ride of finding gainful employment “out there” – outside the known world of universityland. There were ups and there were downs. On the one handContinue reading “Moving to Wyoming!”
