Wow, another year has rolled around. This doesn’t feel as raw as it did the first time, but I still go back through the memories of everything I felt that week, when I was in Bloomington, Indiana, and all the attention was on Laramie, Wyoming. With distance – both in terms of time (16 years […]
Remember, it’s 10:00 in Laramie, a mere 9 hours after I got back to my hotel from drinking beer at Altitude Brewery. Foolishly I had three Reckonings, and the Reckoning has come. Actually I felt fine when I got back to the hotel – 20 minutes later I was feeling terrible – […]
It’s Thursday in Laramie, Wyoming, and I decided to go downtown to do a little shopping and a little coffee drinking – and while I could have driven downtown in, uh, give or take 5 minutes, I took the Gem City Grand Bus Route – which, between my hotel and downtown, makes […] Tuesday morning, before heading north, I went to a coffee shop in order to get caught up on my email—for while I might be on vacation, some aspects of work need somewhat regular attention. I found myself on Colfax Avenue at 18:00 CET – a warm, sunny, Tuesday morning at 10 in Denver.

Back at IU I had a friend who proudly told me that he was one of those terrible “fair weather fans.” He paused for a beat and then informed me that when the weather was fair, he would go. Today it’s cold and snowy in Laramie. My car […] More Trees! Friday was all about the University of Wyoming and its environs. Let me be quick and direct: The campus looks more beautiful than it ever did when I was a student here. Additionally significant changes have been made to both the Wyoming Union and to Coe Library, rendering both nearly unrecognizable—and I […] After spending two nights in Pinedale, I woke up this morning to a weather forecast that was anxiety raising: Cooler with the potential for snow over parts of the state. I ended up doing the morning ablutions rapidly, before heading out on the road. I stopped in Boulder (Wyoming) to eat breakfast before continuing my […] One of the interesting things to me is how perceptions about time, distance, and population have varied so widely in my life. When I lived in Wyoming, it was reasonable at 11:30 to say to friends, “Hey, let’s have lunch in Cheyenne,” and be on the road 15 minutes, driving 45 minutes for lunch, a […] Thankfully I didn’t make a decision about my October trip yesterday. This morning I saw a Tweet by @milkjosh: Laramie Project: Ten Years Later ~ A film about murdered gay teen Matthew Shepard ~ http://digs.by/A0 After seeing this, I did a bit of research–read an article in The New York Times. The authors of the […] From October 1998 through July 1999, I managed to have all three of the places I’d been lucky enough to call home drug through the mud. I’ve already talked about the tenth anniversary of Matthew Shepard’s murder—which took Laramie, Wyoming, and made it a buzz word for hate and homophobia. Today, April 20, was the […] |
