A Taste of What The Public Library in a Village of 255 People Has To Offer…

Man, do I love small town libraries! And always great to see the amazing things happening across the regional system where I first worked after completing my MLIS 13 (!) years ago. Southeast Regional Library has a slogan “Not The Library You Remember” and though I think it’s mostly aimed at people who only remember […]

Music Monday – “She said, “Andy, you’re better than your past”/Winked at me and drained her glass/Cross-legged on a barstool, like nobody sits anymore”

“Elephant” – Jason Isbell (This reaction video where a couple commentators slowly realize what the song’s about is a pretty good supplement to what some feel is the best song of 2013.)

Music Monday – “This tiny space is all I need to live in/A simple life’s good for the soul/And I think I’m going to live in a boler/Tow it behind me wherever I go”

I used this song as part of a longer end-of-season montage after our first summer seasonal site three years ago but it deserves a post of its own. (Make sure you read the story about the singer from the Ovarian Cancer “Walk of Hope” page below – very tragic story for such a joyful song.) “Living […]

10 Reasons We Love Camping

As we begin the sad process of closing up our seasonal site for another year, it feels like a good time to do a list of the reasons Shea and I enjoy camping so much: We both camped lots with our own parents growing up so we know how it can create amazing memories for […]
