[Note: Having trouble uploading the pics for this post. I'll try to add them later] Today is my thirteenth day in Australia. It's the thirteenth of seventy-five days of summer, the thirteenth of seventy-five days to spend with my person, the thirteenth day of waking up and realizing I did it. I left the cozy...

I set myself a goal of writing six blog posts in October. Didn't happen, but that's okay because October was a pretty great month. I got to spend some quality time with my person before he went back to Australia to go back to work. We went on hikes, we went to the movies, we... Continue Reading →
I don't like killing spiders. They're beautiful creatures and an important part of our eco-system, but on Mondy, I killed a spider. I can't stop thinking about it, feeling guilty.

My mind is pleasantly numb. Not quite on overload, but getting there. The past two days, I've been attending the International Bluegrass Music Association's (IBMA) World of Bluegrass Business Conference in Raleigh, NC. I've sat through seminars on crowd source funding, crafting a good music video, and publicizing your band. I've been to an awards... Continue Reading →
"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?" – Sir Terry Pratchett, Going Postal I've been trying to write this post for five days. It hasn't been easy. It's almost like I feel that if I press that publish button then it's really true: Sir Terry Pratchett... Continue Reading →
