• Part 2

    Part 2 of giving thanks. John F, thank you for everything and most of all…introducing me to people that I would, as you so nicely phrased it, go to the ground for.  You have a knack for meeting great people and introducing them. Mara and Craig, for real…you two are an inspiration. You open your…

  • Road to Cool

    Road to Cool, originally uploaded by Suddenly Single. I write my best when I am devastated or blissfully happy. Right now, I’m just coasting. To avoid boring you all with the details of this week’s hiking adventure, I created a website: “hiking with the ex” which can be found by clicking on the link to…

  • Part 1

    It’s my birthday month, which means it’s Kara’s birthday month too. She turns 18 this year. I’ve written many things about her on her birthday and this year will be no different. This year I am going to write something about me and the people in my life. I’m reminded on a daily basis how…

    Waterfall of fun!, originally uploaded by Suddenly Single. The plan wasn’t to spend the whole day out in the canyons on Saturday, but that is what happened. It was spose to rain on Saturday so I was thinking that we could get in a quick 3 mile hike. I prepared the Cambelbaks the night before…

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
