Trekked over the misty mountains to retrieve Ceili from Eugene and bring her back home for Thanksgiving. The drive over Highway 126 is a delight to me; a couple hours each way of dense fir-and-fern forest. Listened to Celtic music (which fit the misty, green atmosphere) and a podcast on Iroquois History & Legend.
It was fine, indeed.
Looking forward to Marilyn’s fine feast, games with the neighbors, a couple of hours on the wood pile and a four days of completely checking out of the national circus.
Thank you all for the time you spend at this electronic campfire. Our conversations are a highlight of each day. I am thankful that the work that is such a passion for me resonates with you as well.
I hope your holiday is a grand and abundant one.

The four days of completely checking out sound really good.

Wishing a happy feast to you and yours, Jim. I do have one gripe you should’ve anticipated: no Wyeth art in this post.
Tommy says

Hi Jim,
New to your blog and enjoyed this post. Have you ever checked out https://indigenousability.blogspot.de/. It’s run by Mark Hatmaker who is a legend in the self-defense world. He spends a lot of time on boxing, wrestling and frontier martial arts. Blog is worth checking out, especially the post about primive navigation skills.

Glad you’re here at the campfire, Thad.
That’s a fine bit of synchronicity right there: Tony Blauer shared a post on Warrior Awareness Drills from Hatmaker a couple of days ago on Facebook and I thought ‘I need to explore this guy’s stuff.’ Now this. Gotta pay attention when this sort of thing happens happens. I’ll be on the site this weekend. Thank you.
