Driving in Fog is Like Sleepwalking, You Never Know Quite Where You’ll End Up
The view out our windscreen this morning. And then the truck ahead disappeared. It took me rather longer than I would like to be bothered by that. I think my survival instincts are on the fritz. This is probably because I am in desperate need of more sleep. Yes, I know, tired is my natural state […]

Travel With Me = How High Do You Want To Climb?
August 16, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
A couple of weeks ago in San Francisco Arkem threatened to kill me, but in the end he didn’t because apparently I am very charming. I was indulging in my recurring urge to climb things and made him follow me up a rather impressive hill.* When we were halfway up said very steep thing Arkem […]

What You Are Doing Can’t Be As Important As This*

Warning: AFC, Possibly Weasels
July 13, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
So I’m going to be AFC (away from couch) for the next seven weeks. Which is both brilliant and worrying. I mean, what will my couch do without me? I am, however, taking my keyboard with me. I have wondered, from time to time, what it would be like to travel without my laptop (I’m […]

Arkem: Hey, Kandace. Me: Hello, you! You are on my to-do list for today! Arkem: How exciting. Me: Well… not that I need to do you. That would be a little wrong. But things. Things with you. Arkem: Moving in the right direction. But not quite out of the dodgy woods yet. Me: Right. We […]
