The Magic Trick Saturday afternoon at 3, Katie pulled the Casita next to the front of my Park Model home. She had to ring the doorbell because I was inside. You would think I would be hanging out on the front porch, anxiously waiting for her van and my Casita to appear. Normally, I would …

It’s not personal…
It’s not personal… Yes, it is. My life is intensely personal. I love this quiet time. It is exactly 1:22 Saturday morning of July 15, 2017. This is my best time to write. For at least seven years I haven’t been able to sleep more than two or three hours. I use that time to …

My Odyssey — Part 2
My Odyssey – Part 2 This is the initial planning stage... After Katie told me about her wedding. Who is Katie? What’s with this ‘wedding’? In the beginning, my plan was a simple one. Buy a used Casita Freedom and travel with my dogs, Bernie and Chris. Nothing extensive. Just boondock fairly local for …
The box… I never want to open
The box … I never want to open Another sizzling 115-degree July day as I sit in my office answering some e-mail. Chris gives a short bark, scrambles up from lying next to me and heads for the front door. Bernie, sprawled under the desk, shifts his hefty weight and struggles to his feet. Silently …
My Odyssey
My odyssey It is midnight, an almost full moon, a balmy 96 degrees on July 11, 2017. At just about seven o’clock, several hours earlier, I was talking with Kathie when it happened. She made a comment that immediately lodged in my mind, though the exact importance was stuffed in my sub-conscious. There it ripened …
I’m no dog expert
I’m no dog expert Lately, that four-word statement has become my mantra. In 2012, I decided to train a dog for Therapy Dog service. I’d never trained a dog but, with a lot of professional help, it has turned out well. I enjoyed writing about all my adventures, including the misadventures. Time passed, and I …
A New Discovery
A new discovery I should be excited. I’m not. I think I am almost numb. The discovery is why (possibly) I bought the Casita. Apparently, there were at least two very important reasons. I bought it for me… so I can travel. However, there is a huge amount of doubt with that simple explanation. I …
The license plate
The license plate “You did what!” an unheard voice yelled. That is what I expect I would hear, had I told people what I had done. I had, according to a lot of logical, conservative folks done something foolish. I had bought, sight unseen a Casita. Even worse, I had paid cash for it and …
Self-analysis
I am a big fan of self-analysis. My father never turned the air conditioner on in the car. I never knew why… though I think he once told me. I think it had to do with him being stubborn. Oh, maybe it was he didn’t know how to work the dash to make it work. …
