(You can view the full article at Life As A Human.) I’m currently doing a road trip across Canada (you can check out my adventures here). This is giving me lots of time to not only drive, but think about driving. And about some of the weird things people do when driving. I visited my [...]

This is one of the many things I love about the west coast of Canada. We’re really not part of Canada at all. We pretend. We’re all Hockey!And Eh! and Yeah, winter TOTALLY SUCKS! With the snow…and the cold…BURR! But the rest of Canada, you should know something. We’re faking. We’re lying to your face. And my proof is that [...]

I’ve been neglecting my bloggerly duties. So sorry! Though, if anything this re-affirms my belief that I shouldn’t have children. If I can’t even keep a blog alive, how could I possibly be responsible for a tiny little being with actual physical needs? My excuse for not posting for the last few weeks is that [...]
A Sleepover At My New Friend’s

Several summers ago I worked at a country bar in Whitehorse, YT, that featured a Chinese buffet for lunch during the week. How weird is it to serve Chinese food in a country bar? In Whitehorse? But Chinese food is not what I want to talk about. Whitehorse. Summer. And I’m back on track! There was a [...]

I love road trips. I really, surely, do. I like doing them with other people, but my friends aren’t as willing as I am to drop everything, quit their jobs, sell their stuff, and hit the road for an indefinite period of time in an unknown direction. They’re all Oh, I have to pay rent, [...]
Couch Surfing in Portland

Finally, after months of talking about it, and one failed attempt at doing it, I’m finally getting to use my van for more than cruising around town in the fast lane during rush hour. My good friend Bev is in Portland taking a class, and she made the mistake of inviting me down to visit. [...]

I have these lovely friends, Andrea and Carlos, who were getting married last weekend. In Vancouver. Great, I thought. I can finally get some use out of my camper van. The weather was promising to be not rainy, practically a miracle for October on the mainland. I’ll hit the wedding, then drive around for a [...]
Thursdays That Look and Smell Like Mondays

I’m at Fennell’s RV Repair this morning, dropping off my van to have the propane system checked out. I’m not really sure what this means, other than it has propane somewhere “behind the scenes” that can either run the fridge and the stove and heat water, or make the van explode in a firey death [...]
Drew and Me

I left yesterday morning, just as the rain started. It had been sunny for weeks and I’d done nothing particular with the good weather. The day I decide to do something is the day it rains. Yes, I’m that powerful. The weather is all about me and my bad luck. It’s a three hour drive, [...]
