Running Away with Jesus

Dear Reader,

A friend stopped laughing long enough to suggest I should blog more about my adventures in online dating.  

"But they're not funny!" I protested.
"Oh, they are!" She insisted.

Upon consideration, I realized that most of my readership probably has no firsthand experience with online dating and so may in fact find some of my anecdotes to be novel and amusing though they no longer seem so to me.

Hence, I have selected the following opening line from my archive of "strange things to say to strangers."



This is also a good opener for sharing the news that Jesus and I left Tulsa on Saturday and arrived in Maine last night.  We are currently debating my options for the future and as yet have made no long term plans (other than, "Let's stick together!").  We are currently still working through the implications of showering after breakfast instead of before.  Once that question has been answered and we have unpacked the car, there will, I hope, be more time for letters and stories.

Until then,
~~ LeAn

Asserting Dominance

Dear Reader, LandLady sent me a video of Pony chewing on a rope chew stick.  It's not especially funny or unusual.  Just a big happy dog gnawing on a chew stick. I was not grateful to see this video, because I had bought the chew stick for Dog;  I wanted her to have something non-consumable to chew on since the bits of blanket and squeaky toys she had enjoyed chewing seemed to have unfortunate consequences for her digestion.  But Dog shunned the stick, presumably for the very reason that it is not-consumable.  So it was re-gifted to Pony, who is delighted by it. Dog is, in fact, resisting all of my efforts to keep her busy with non-food based entertainment.  But she is inventing her own games.   Games like "stand quietly just out of line of sight and see how long it takes for MyPerson to come looking for me".  Since I have reasons for not trusting Dog, she usually doesn't have to wait long.  So, fun times for everyone!! One reason I do not trust Dog is that w

A Sudden Change of Direction: an Analogy of Dog and Life

There are times when you and Life are walking along, like good friends, and you think you know where you are going.  You think that you and Life have agreed on a direction; that there is a plan; that you understand each other. And then Life decides that despite all the trees you have already visited, you really must see this new one.  This tree is different from all the other trees and if you don't see it, you simply won't be the person you might be if you DO see it. And so Life changes direction. Except you don't notice.  Because you talked about it.  And there was this plan . And then you trip over Life.  And Life LOOKS very indignant because you weren't paying attention and kneed her in the ribs.  And you ARE very indignant because this is a stupid tree that you had no interest in ever seeing and you would chop it down and burn it if you could. Stupid tree.  Stupid Life.  Stupid little bits of gravel stuck in your palms. But eventually, you thin
