Is it Year in Review or Year End Review? Either way, let me warn you before we get started. I should have said a bottle of Whine, one of those big magnum suckers, because if you read further you are going to get drenched in it. You’ve been warned, proceed at your own risk: I was reading some of my old posts the other day and came across one I made in my first year of blogging. It stated that…
Sit back, settle in, and prepare yourself for this long story about how a short story has found it’s way to the light. OK, not really found footage, like the Blair Witch Project up there, but found wordage? Yeah, we’ll go with that. This found wordage had been lost for around 39 years. I say had, because it has been found! Found by me! When I was around 17 years old, I fancied myself as the next Stephen King and…
Yeah, published another one. Second in the RViditots series. Check it out on my author page if you want.
Not those kind of dreads! BTW, that’s my friend Liz Kidder. She’s a kick ass thru-hiker and an accomplished dreads artist. Sometimes I’ll bring up my blog and hit the widget on the side of the page that brings up a random blog post I wrote. How narcissistic is that? Today’s random post was one I wrote back in 2017 that was a prompt from the below book. I had to list things that I dread during the day. When…
This whole post is going to sound like a bunch of whining from beginning to end about getting to do something I always dreamed about. So let me preface it by saying I am very grateful for what I got to do, because not many people get afforded the same opportunity. That being said, isn’t it more fun to read about how things go wrong and the obstacles you must overcome to get them to go right? So whining, but…
I published another book. This one is called TALES OF THE RVIDIOTS – YEAR ONE. It’s a memoir about our first year of full-time RV life. Here’s the synopsis. Myself (Lee), my wife (Michelle), and our 100 pound Golden Retrievers (Sawyer and Finn) had no idea what we were getting into. We had never owned an RV and just decided to sell our house, get rid of most of our material possessions, and go on the road. What could go…
Evidently there are a few of you out there that still want to know about the ongoing saga that is my health. Well, there is good and not so good news. Here’s the latest skinny. When I last wrote about this saga I explained that the timeline we had hoped for was not going to be as quick as we wanted. Boy, did I understate that. Also, we were still hoping for a living liver transplant from my sister. Those…
I saw my new transplant doctor in Dallas last Thursday. Here’s a little snippet of the conversation: Doctor: So, what can I do for you today? Me: Hook me up with a liver transplant. Doctor: OK, that’s our end goal here. Me: Cool, so can we get this done like next month? Doctor: Whoa! Pump the brakes there! I’ll spare you the rest of the conversation. Basically, things are not going to progress as quickly as we hoped. The doctor…
The LeeLander landed in Franklin, NC for a couple of weeks last year in November. I had always wanted to visit Franklin because it’s an Appalachian Trail Town. I know, big shocker there, right? The bonus to this trip was that the daughter I had just made a connection with earlier in the year, also lived there. You won’t see anything about it in the video, though. It was our first time meeting IRL (other than when I held her…
Not Halloween 2021, Halloween 2020. It could be argued that all of 2020 was a trick, but this specific one occurred almost a year ago and I figured I should probably post this video before it is eclipsed by the Halloween from a year later. Enjoy!
