“Part of my character is made up of an obsession to push something to the limit. It can be of great use if my obsession is channeled into constructive thought or creativity, but it can also be mentally or physically or spiritually destructive. I think what happens to an artist is, when he feels the …
Our friend, Tony, lives in a town not too far from Nashville. His place has lots of room for him, his music studio, and all of the comforts of a suburban home. It’s a peaceful place with warm, autumnal colors very similar to the palette that Beth and I used for our house in Yorktown. …
Beth & Scott’s Adventure has landed outside of Nashville in a town called Goodlettsville. We’ve reserved a spot here at a huge RV park called The Grand ‘Ol RV Resort. There are at least 150 RVs of every shape and size from all over the country – plenty of full-timers, a few families, and a …
While we were in Sevier County, Tennessee, I borrowed a book from the RV office about the history of this area nestled in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains. I’m not a big fan of history books or museums, but something drew me to this little green book when I saw it on the coffee …
Today was a great day for me (and I think for us), though it didn’t start out that way. I really dug myself into a nice hole! Bradley started whining around 2am because he needed to go outside. This isn’t atypical, but he wanted to go out again at 5am which meant that Scotty’s sleep …
One of the scariest aspects of being a roving citizen of the USA are what I think of as “householder duties”, things like health insurance, keeping track of finances, and mail. Oh, there’s so much mail! I also worried that some of the things I needed to do for my work would be harder on …
Melissa, Beth, Jeff and Scott on Mt. Mitchell Did you know that the highest place east of the Mississippi River is in North Carolina? I would have guessed New Hampshire’s White Mountains, but it’s right here in this beautiful state. Yesterday, we drove with our friends, Melissa and Jeff, from Weaverville, through the hiking town …
When we come to a new city, we like to drive up and down as many streets as we can and then explore the boundaries of the downtown area by truck, too. I haven’t given it too much thought, but it’s probably our way of mapping a city prior to parking and seeing it on …
Yesterday, I started working on Chapter 2 of the book, so I didn’t make time for a post. As it turns out, the work that I did felt like it will likely be Chapter 3. It’s all good! Where have I heard that phrase, “It’s all good,” lately? It was texted to me this morning …
This morning, I asked Beth to join me for a walk. She’s been doing yoga and trampolining for exercise, but I haven’t done anything to move this 60-year-old body around in a while. She set the pace and off we went down the street. I was happy to be outside, looking up at the mountains …
