Sandbox for Project X-1A… aka, Hawk’s Heaven!
I’m driving home listening to NPR, a show called The Infinite Mind and today’s episode was part II about a disease called Aspberger’s Syndrome. Oh, my God, what an uncanny sense of “Whoa…” it was. The link to the audio program (part II) is Here Without repeating my comments, this sure sounds like a really [...]
Driving home this morning, listening to NPR on WAMU, The Writer’s Almanac pointed out that on this day in 1937, JRR Tolkien first published “The Hobbit”, and the title of this post were the first words written on the story in 1928.

Some very special Gypsy got this old wolf one of his own prints for his birthday. Not only did she get the print, she got it on the canvas instead of photo paper, something I’ve been meaning to do for some time. I haven’t priced it out yet, because I hadn’t seen a sample. Of [...]
Today’s is Madeleine L’Engle, author of “A Wrinkle in Time”, “A Wind in the Door”, and “A Swiftly Tilting Planet”. For myself, I grew up dreaming of tesseracts and visiting Patagonia someday :=) Rest well, Madame.

The bike has been serviced, has new tires, is running at 110% of BMW perfection, and is chomping at the bit to [...]

Feel free to peruse the new look of the site at http://www.terrawolf.com There’s still quite a [...]

All my routes, waypoints, and maps have been finalized, downloaded to the unit and posted up online on the routes page. Huzzah! Everything I needed except the highway pegs have been recieved. Huzzah! Tire decision has been [...]
Wow. Countdown: 15 days, 8 hours, 47 minutes, and 3 seconds remaining! Well, I’m down to the last 3 things on my list, and all 3 have been ordered. I got sick of it raining inside my left side bag, so I ordered a few packs of desiccant (silica gel for the uninitiated) to toss [...]
