Color this another “annoyed” whatchamacallit – today I am supposed to heading to Bloomington, Indiana, for a few days – some meetings, many friends, an escape from work. Instead, of course, I am working from home in Berlin. I have been ruminating about my representations of Bloomington – a city I lived in for […] It’s hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since I left the University of Wyoming for points east – and ultimately Germany. Two months after moving to Bloomington, Laramie was in the news. From the luxury of my home in Berlin, I can still think back to how I felt those 1998 October days […] Today marks 14 years since the passing of Matthew Shepard. What strikes me now is how vivid my memories are of that week 14 years ago leading up to today, 14 years ago. I was living on Braeside Drive, in Bloomington, in an apartment complex that I’ve done my best to forget—rarely pausing to recall […] As is with tradition, today is the day that I pause to reflect upon Matthew Shepard, the University of Wyoming student who was savagely beaten, tied to a fence, and left to die.

Consequently, I’m buying fewer random t-shirts and wishing I had more of some messages. For example, at the gym I wear duds for the Wyoming Cowboys (I wish I had more) […] You can tell when people are changing classes… While the timing of this trip was dictated by something I was invited to attend, it happens to match the first week of classes at Indiana University, Bloomington. Technically, I’m on vacation, but I’ve taken care of a number of housekeeping-like things, like visiting the bank […] I know that I’ve promised a post about what I did last Thursday and I’m please to report that I’m a lot happier with the second draft. Unfortunately I haven’t had the time to finish revising it (some parts need to go) and uploading the related pictures to Flickr. PsudeoWife, her real husband, and one […] It’s exciting—by this time tomorrow, my furniture will be in my new apartment. Unfortunately T-Com doesn’t come until Thursday, so I will probably be back here at my friends’ place, not just to take care of the cats, but to check my email.
