 I'm No Stuffed Cuddly Tuesday, June 29 @ 01:00:00 PDT Okay, I know I'm still new around here but I have something to say about how you guys are treating me. I know I'm cute and cuddly, but that's no reason to treat me like a stuffed animal.

 Does Grammy Count as a Stranger with Candy? Thursday, June 24 @ 03:00:00 PDT You can't start teaching your freshman family members too young. Dad tries to get me to say "daddy" and mom teaches me not to clean up after myself and never to take candy from strangers. All you people seem pretty strange, so does that mean I can't have any candy?

 Monkey Seen, Monkey Just Gotta Do Tuesday, June 22 @ 03:00:00 PDT Oh man, check out what this older man* can do! He's like Spiderman. He digs in with his sticky hands and feet and shimmies on up. If I can see it being done, I'm ready to jump in and give it my own shot.

 Baby Fails to Fail Brendan on First Assignment Monday, June 21 @ 01:00:00 PDT It's been like a million years since Senior Editor brother Brendan went out to do field reporting from the "road" place, and I'm proud to say I haven't let him down. But I do feel lonely.

 Trees Can't See the Forest for Me Friday, June 18 @ 05:00:00 PDT As I stand here gazing at the behemoth connifer which allegedly pre-dates our good Lord Christ, I gain perspective. Sadly, the trees learn nothing from our encounter as if they can't see the forest for the me(s).

 Equipment Heavy, Burden of Comprehension Heavier Thursday, June 17 @ 04:00:00 PDT I'm not sure if I've already mentioned this or not but I'm in the thick of a road trip here and I've been reluctantly put in charge of teaching myself all kinds of new stuff. Normally that's just fine by me but times like this where I'm admittedly baffled it's a task I have to give up on.

 Welcome to Alderpoint, Population: Cow Wednesday, June 16 @ 03:00:00 PDT My whirlwind tour has quietly ground to the most placid of a pause here in sunny, scorching Alderpoint, California. The hilltop ranching community boasts fewer inhabitants than even attended my dance recital and most of them are Jersey cows.

 I Got Nothing Thursday, June 10 @ 14:00:00 PDT Yeah, I know I said I'd be writing to you guys from the road but the truth is ugly. Road life really takes a toll on you and all I can do to preserve my sanity is put writing aside and soak my fragile bits in a tepid tub of bubbles.
