Running away from home

You might have noticed that the world is kinda stupid right now. Covid, riots, messy elections, strange schooling and layoffs make the world an un-fun place to be. People are angry and feeling like their opinions are God's truth, people who SHOULD share a value system are having a hard time agreeing on anything. Our family has had a bit of a stressful year, as many families have, and it was time for a change.

So the Crocker Family has run away from home.

Last Wednesday, we finished packing up Betty Lou Blue Bus, put the van on a dolly behind, grabbed our friend Shannon and rolled out of town. For the next foreseeable future, you may assume that this has become a travel blog. We are not sure how long we are on this adventure, up to 60 days is planned, but the world is a strange place right now so we are holding things open-handed.

All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a...

Blogging

So I have lost the love of blogging. I have always believed it is a narcissistic pass time, yet enjoy it anyway. I have found I easily spend entirely too much time tied to my computer. By the time I check Facebook , e-mail, friends blogs, etc I can easily waste an hour, if not two, of time. A friend of mine just blogged about the same thing. Yes, I get the irony of a blog post about not blog posting, but alas, here it is: I just read a good friends blog about my blog. A great leader here in Boulder, Kevin Colon wrote this: “Hugh moved to Denver to do a training deal for an organization and he ended up starting a church. His blogging is not incredibly frequent but when he does blog….it’s good!” Now, while I’m humbled that a man like Kevin would even want to read my blog, I figured it was a good time to state once and for all why I only post once or twice a month. Simply this……..”I prefer to spend my time with people.” I’ ve always wondered how people have time to read blogs, let alo...
