Homeception is when you take your new home and park it in the driveway beside your childhood home so that when you look out your dining room window, you are staring into the kitchen of your youth. This is the… Read More ›
Discovery
My semi-fictionalized adventures aboard the NCC-39R Discovery as my co-pilot and fearless science officer (he failed his security exams) travel into parts unknown…
Living Free Means Hard Work
*Another update in my personal saga as I search for a means to commit mobile fiction. It’s been a busy few months and, yes, my writing has slowed but not to worry – I’ll be back on track soon. Eric… Read More ›
The Road Ahead
For our latest trip in Discovery, I wrote a fairly general post about encountering difficulties along the way. I’d meant to give my typical Captain’s Log entry (or First Officer…there’s likely some debate and a brewing mutiny) but as… Read More ›

Sure, you can resist the winds of change, but even that will transform you…
Giving It All Away
Of all the preparation which comes with moving into a 40 foot by 12 foot box on wheels, the toughest thing is making it all fit. We’ve been homeowners since 1998. Our first house was a modest (by Texas… Read More ›
