travels

It's Sunday. I have to work tomorrow. I'm lying on the couch while my weekly supply of pinto beans simmer in the crock pot. My clothes are hanging on the clothesline, in the rain. I'm sure the rain will stop soon. I'm also cooking some rice in the rice maker. Together, the rice and beans make a complete protein. I like them, and they're simple. And cheap. 

Last Saturday, I drove to Colorado to visit my dogs. It took about 13 hours. Stayed with a friend from work. Went hiking too. I saw deer, bison, and two moose. On the way back I stopped in New Mexico to visit my friend Josh. He's got an art studio, and he and his wife Maja also built a cool little artist residence. The current resident was a writer, Sarah, from Yellowknife (Canada!) where the Aurora Borealis shines 240 nights a year. I drove home on Thursday so I could see Tron: Ares with my sister and the nephews. I also applied for my passport on Friday. Mine had expired long ago so I had to apply like it was the first time. 

I wonder where I should go next.
