Today I leave for Santa Fe, NM and grad school residency. I'll miss out on the Kalispel's Pow Wow this year-which is always one of my favorite times in Pend Oreille County. The fancy dancing and the stick game tournaments are dazzling and hypnotic. But at the same time, the adventure of a road trip through Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah...well, what's not to like about that?
I've spent the last two weeks struggling through Dante and Augustine in prep for the trip. I feel like I've gone through some sort of dark ages repairative therapy. I'm a little over hell and purgatory and sin...at least for the next 1400 miles.
Kevin will be keeping the home fires burning. Which means he gets a break from the visual assault of me walking around in sweats or shorts and lace up cowboy boots. A look he says is way beyond disturbing.
As I have time, I hope to post whatever seems interesting...

Do you need somebody to watch the ranch while you're gone?
