One of these things was not like the other

What a week; return from a whirlwind trip out west, and Monday dad returned to the daily grind to only find that someone pulled the plug on the grinder, and that was the last time I've seen him dress in his usual emasculating ensemble insipidly described as "business casual". One day of Levi's, since then it's been Wranglers. For the last twenty one years, golf shirts and khakis(honey, do these pants make my butt look…

Dad here; for those that have been here since the beginning, you'll remember how difficult it was to break the news that Stevie had passed. But in the spirit of family, we thought it was vital to keep everything out and in the open, and like the photographs on this page, with no filters; what you see is what you get. The story of Charlie and the story of the crate are inextricably linked; no…

It's difficult, if not right near impossible, to cross the Canadian river in the panhandle of Texas without this song playing between your ears. Just a thought that worked it's way into dad's head during last week's journey across the southwest: whether it be a boss, a spouse, a child, a politician, or even our own selves, by our own words and actions, we teach people how to treat us. Teach them right, and chark…

Dad here; with all the hurry to get "out west", one has to wonder why we were in such an all-fired hurry to get back home. Nothing much has changed, the humidity and the hummingbirds are still obnoxious and still here, but hopefully both making their final stand before pushing through to the south; the Clydster has put on a few pounds, and the red dogs have lost a few more brain cells. When Zach…

We should have made it home by now, but dad seems to have a love/hate relationship with those state signs positioned at every border crossing. He loves the anticipation of seeing them approach through the haze of bug guts on the windshield, but gets a feeling of sickness and dread in the pit of his stomach when one recedes in the rear view mirror; "well, we won't be seeing THAT one again for a while...(heavy…

I have a horrible confession to make; sometimes we do things while away from the Casa that we would never even consider doing back home. The allure of new places and experiences, no access to social media, limited oxygen to the brain, fatigue, white line fever, sensiry overload, all of these stimuli combine with the catalyst that is the anonymity of the open road to cause some things to "just happen". Trust painstakingly established over…

Dad here; the heat and friction of the sandstone in Moab took its toll on Charlie's getupandgo, and today she's moving around like an old woman. She is digging the attention that mom is lavishing upon her, but personally, I think that she's being a bit overly dramatic. In her mind, she's shuffling around Colorado with a quad cane and orthopedic slippers(Charlie, not mom). On the other hand, Max has dropped his grumpy Winston Churchill…
