Rambling

Comments have been trickling back about Bisbee. "Nice little artsy town in the middle of a moonscape", "Bisbee? I LOVE Bisbee!", "Weird little town - full of artists and people running from the law...good for about a day." Suzy was perusing the Bisbee internet and found this, http://www.bellestarr-az.com/index.html . I found this delightful. This appears to be a woman who has grasped life with both hands and yelled "yeehaw!"

Next week, I take off on a short little adventure. My son (that seems so weird to say but what other word to use?) is coming to visit and I'm taking him on his first ever road trip. Oh, he's travelled - somewhat extensively even. However, he's never been on the kind of "lets just take off and see where we end up" kind of trip. I'm excited to show him the glories of this kind of travel. There is a story here of course. He's 17 and I just met him for the first time last year. You see, I gave him to a nice normal set of parents when he was born and when he was 15, they looked me up and we've been getting to know each other ever since. I'm looking forward to this trip with him. His parents are pretty spectacular and there's not much I could give him that they haven't already. I can give him this experience though! He wants to see Crater Lake (he studied it in school) http://www.nps.gov/crla/ and California so we will head south.

Otherwise, I've added a few things to etsy and its time for a new photo session. I've been studying up on how to have a successful etsy shop, how to write short stories, how to blog successfully (odd concept) and sundry other trip readying details. I've added 20 bucks from my pay to the freedom fund - not much, but its the habit that counts.

While looking for a picture of crater lake to put at the top here, I found a blog that looks interesting - I've linked it to the right here. This guy (I'm assuming...haven't read too far yet) Dusty Davis, is traveling across the country on his motorcycle. Sounds like fun (except for the motorcycle part).
