About Me

I can't seem to stay in one place for very long. My 2006 trek has included the Big Island of Hawaii; Tucson, Arizona; Phippsburg, Maine; and sweet New Hampshire. My stay now is Kentucky. Some how we ended up here. I have a companion on this leg of the trip. In Kentucky the bourbon is yummy, everyone goes to church, and you do not have to have you car inspected. We live down the road from a Shetland pony farm. You have to drive REAL fast down this skinny skinny road to get there, which is hillarious because no one here knows how to drive. Our neighbors include cows, peacocks, soy, corn, several horses and a donkey.My hope is that the trek will re-start some month, some day, 2007.

Minus the Bear, 10/20/06
