Limits (A Confession)
Sunday, 18 December 2011
I often struggle to pay my bills on time. And to stay completely connected in group conversations. Focus. My mind wanders and isn’t always interested in taking care of those tasks as well as I would like. I’m painfully aware of my faults and shortcomings. I have no illusions or delusions about these things. That I know of. I’m honest with myself. Who [...]

My buddy David Newsom took this tonight. Out on some lonely hillside. I’m not sure if I’ve ever looked quite so cool. Tweet

Eagle & Fox
Thursday, 11 November 2010

On Wednesday the C-130 came on it’s weekly trip and there was a cooler with some more food for me. But I didn’t sleep much that night, I was shivering feverishly and making frequent trips to the toilet. Must have been some of that new food and I have a very strong stomach but I [...]
