Guatemala: Day Two I noticed yesterday that I’ve begun to ‘forget’ my camera at Benjamin’s when I leave the house. I think this is simply a sign that I’ve become more comfortable here and think of it more like an actual home. Shanti and Zues, Benjamin’s two dogs, have made all the difference. Each morning ...
Today has been such an adventure! I’ve met so many people and seen so many new places – I’m just grateful. I am staying at a home owned by a man named Benjamin. He has lived here in San Marcos for something like 20 years. He owns a hotel, restaurant and retreat space a short ...

Courtesy wordle.net, I gave it my blog URL and it created this word cloud. Very insightful. Make your own. ...
Six MCAD students crammed into a booth meant for four. Five girls and one guy – clearly a homo. Girl is sitting at a table by herself in front of the opened french doors to 25th St. She has perfect posture and is holding her hands in a position around her coffee – one in ...
I spent nearly an hour trying to get from my home on the south end of downtown to pick up my buddy Rambo on the north end. In Minnesota there is a running joke about our climate; we have only two seasons – Winter and Road Construction. I complain about the road construction every summer ...
This is my first entry made from my iPhone using the third party WordPress app developed for it. I’m impressed with both. The ability Apple has to develop highly functional products that are simitaneously simple to use never ceasescto amaze me.
