It is without a doubt my long held aspiration to thru hike the AT (Appalachian Trail). I wanted to share this one Thru Hiker's Blog.

This young lady, trail name Wired, just finished her 2185 mile hike yesterday after 111 days on the trail. She updated a blog daily with wit, candor, and pictures sharing her day to day trials, tribulations (like her monthly periods) and triumphs along with the characters and players that make an AT thru hike an unique experience.

Yesterday's completion of the AT makes her a triple crown long hiker having previously completed the CDT (Continental Divide Trail) and PCT (Pacific Coast Trail).

I encourage you to start at Day One and make reading her blog the daily start to your day for the next 111 days.

Agnes Martin, Artist? That is such BULLSHIT!

I didn't have any intent to blog today. Then I saw the GOOGLE doodle for today, a set of vertical colored stripes. Since I use several computers, but only one do I stay logged in on my Google account I figured the other computers were just not showing the image correctly. This seems to have been the case in the past when these Google doodles have animation. I went to my computer logged into Google, but no movement when I moved my mouse over the image. So I clicked on the image. This led me to all the associated links and discussions of what this doodle was celebrating Agnes Martin. This is some of the first text I read: Agnes Bernice Martin was a Canadian-American abstract painter, often referred to as a minimalist; Martin considered herself an abstract expressionist. She was awarded a National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1998" from Wikipedia. I continued to look at more images. It seems all this women painte...

After Having Kids, The Rest Of My Life Is Just For Show

For some reason a series of thoughts went through my head the other day in sequential order of what is the worst thing that someone could do to me or happen to me. I'm sure I was stressing over some late bill. Doodles, random, Boon, Cartoons, cartoonist for hire, boondawgoggle, I could be bankrupt, not so bad many people have been bankrupt and come back. A little embarrassing, maybe not the thing you want your kids to see, but again, there are a lot of now successful well know businesses that were the second, third or umpteenth try. Take everything I own away, either by theft, foreclosure, fire, basically just think you've got nothing. Yea a pain in the ass, but really would I miss any of it. Probably not. Think minimalist...see earlier post http://boondawgoggle.blogspot.com/2013/04/what-is-destination-im-i-on-right-path.html . I just don't think it is that big a deal having a bunch of shit. Let me fast forward some. Prison. Throw me in p...

Bed Wetting - Feel The Sensation

life insurance, sales, closing tactic,worse, beaver, machine gun boon, cartoons, cartoonist for hire, boondawgoggle, one guy drawing, doodles Now on the surface this is going to seem like the most warped thought. Even as I write this I'm not certain what my train of thought was, but for sure that train has left the tracks. To paraphrase my internal conversation, "wouldn't it feel good to just wet the bed?" Yuk! Idea, relaxed, kids, reflection, Boon, Cartoons, cartoonist for hire, boondawgoggle, one guy drawing, doodles Why on earth would I want to wet the bed? In order to understand this you are going to have to dig really deep into your childhood mind and recall the pleasurable, relaxing, easy sensation of not having to wake up, drag yourself to the bathroom to pee. It is this memory that somehow popped to the forefront of my mind the other day. Just a peaceful, ahhhh feeling. I'm not even going to attempt to psychoanalyze this. I'm just going...
