I wrote an article here on Randomn3ss on how to drive 1,000 miles in one day a while back. Since that writing, I’ve made the 2,000 mile round trip to the Midwest about fifteen times. I’ve driven through every kind of weather, every season, and maybe every emotional state possible, along with five [...]
If you’ve had flying dreams where you just spread your arms and go, you can really do it in waking life. Completely amazing. Absolutely stunning landscape as well. Norway, anyone?
I have not spent a lot of time cooking lately, so today I decided to make soup from a recipe recommended by Mike here at Randomn3ss.
My work day was spent mostly sitting, and mostly designing (graphic design), so it was refreshing to stand for about two hours rinsing, boiling, dicing, chopping, measuring, stirring, [...]

There are countless carbon footprint calculator web sites on the web now, and like a bad toe fungus, calculators of other types are inevitably springing up and spreading to all areas uncontrollably.
You can calculate your food footprint, your water footprint, your plastic footprint, your lifetime consumption footprint, your house footprint. How about [...]
As one who was young when her mother died, I send out a greeting and hug to everyone who has lost their mom and who are missing her on Mother’s Day. I send it out because the nicest card I have ever gotten in my life was a Mother’s Day card, though I’m not [...]
