The greening of America (or at least the Southwest)

I'm back! At least, I'm deciding I am. I've neglected this blog something horrible, and every time I clicked onto it I'd see how long it'd been since I'd written, get discouraged and close the tab.

BUT NOT ANYMORE!

The simple fact is, as a writer I'm not really allowed to get discouraged about writing, and if I let myself get scared off of something as silly as a blog—something I'm doing entirely out of my own volition (lord, I love that word) then I'll never get anything serious accomplished as a writer.

So. As things stand at the moment in my life, I've just gotten back from a roadtrip to the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and Death Valley. Only the last was new to me, the others I'd been to half a dozen times, but I for one love roadtrips. I love travel in general, but there's something to be said about driving hundreds of miles through deserts and mountains and hills, especially this time of year, with everything being as spectacularly green as it is. Perfect refreshment for the mind, and you can bet I came back with some ideas in tow!
