Renee Thompson: Writing the American West. May 3, 2010. Not Yet Flown North for Spring Or Summer. Since I've not yet migrated my blog to a custom URL, I'm not sure what will happen to it (I'm still receiving dire warnings, which, if translated correctly mean my blog may one day disappear, or burst forth in a language currently unknown to mankind). Cant wait for the new unveiling! 5/10/10, 8:02 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). City Girl, Interrupted. Photo by Jill Carmel. View my complete profile.

Bird in Hand: November 2009
http://reneethompson-birdinhand.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Renee Thompson: Writing the American West. November 24, 2009. Reading ALEX and ME by Irene Pepperberg. I have a fondness for African Greys, and recollect watching a PBS special maybe ten or so years ago, where an African Grey in the UK "spoke" with an English accent. If his owner was sipping a cup of tea, the bird would bob his head and say, "Cop of tay? Which really cracked me up. Now, when I acquire a hankering for a cup of Constant Comment, I ask Steve if he wants one, too, using this birdy accent.

Bird in Hand: Shasta Lake -- Before and After
http://reneethompson-birdinhand.blogspot.com/2010/04/shasta-lake-before-and-after.html
Renee Thompson: Writing the American West. April 16, 2010. Shasta Lake - Before and After. Steve flew over Shasta Lake last November, and took this shot from a helicopter. Gorgeous, but upsetting; lake levels were so low, there was speculation it would take 10 years for it to fill again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). City Girl, Interrupted. Photo by Jill Carmel.

Rhymes with Bacon: Teardrop Trailer - or Vacation in a Can
http://lakinkhan.blogspot.com/2011/10/teardrop-trailer-or-vacation-in-can.html
The Stack by the Chair. Sunday, October 23, 2011. Teardrop Trailer - or Vacation in a Can. Vacation does something to you; rearranges your brain molecules, restructures your thought-habits. After a week out of the office and camping out by the beach, I'm trying to ease back into town-life as slow as I can. Yes, laziness is a by-product of vacations. For our October vacation? Rain, schmain " we said, warm and snug in our little bug. Rented ours from Vacations in a Can. Eucalyptus in the mist. Serendipitou...

Rhymes with Bacon: Comfort: Part Two
http://lakinkhan.blogspot.com/2014/04/comfort-part-two.html
The Stack by the Chair. Monday, April 14, 2014. For 2014, as a. A focus, I had chosen the word “comfort,” in the belief that I needed to become comfortable with this intense new life of teaching and grad school. I mean, really, I had retired! Comfort as in ease, as in gentle on myself, as in feeling good, as in equilibrium. It’s a good word and I will stick with it, even though comfort itself has been elusive and scant, even absent, from Day One of the New Year. Cory and her Grandmom Marilyn. The next da...
