Norsehorse's Journal

Have been meaning to post here, but between not feeling so good at times, being tired often and also busy here and there, I have not always had the energy, time or inclination.

About a week and a half ago I left the place I was able to arrange to stay at since I had arrived back from my Rhode Island trip and was on the streets of Montpelier for what turned out to be one sleepless night and I was pretty much done in already.

Have been meaning to post an update to my last post (here) concerning my current living situation, however between not being online all that much and not feeling all that well at times, it has taken me a while to finally do so.

Anyway, the day after I blogged that particular post I was able to make arrangements to continue staying where I have been at since I came back from my visit in Rhode Island until this coming weekend and I have no a clue where I will be staying after that.

Since I have been back in Vermont (here), I have been mostly taking it easy and have not been going into town or getting online much, except for a few times this week -- going online a bit more yesterday (Friday) and today. Have had a lot to get caught up with and I am still not quite there yet, not that I ever am really either for that matter.

Nothing more to really blog about right now, with the exception being that come Monday morning (August 1, 2005) I have absolutely nowhere to stay once I leave where I have stayed since I got back to Vermont nearly a week and a half ago (Thursday, July 21, 2005).

Am back in Vermont, having returned in the early evening from my visit in Rhode Island, but -- other than this small note -- am too busy and will my online access will be limited this weekend to be able to blog anything meaningful until sometime next week.

Check out the photo's from a recent day at the beach this week, which I quickly posted on Norsehorse's Home Turf yesterday (Thursday, July 21, 2005) prior to finally packing up my stuff for my return trip home: Summer Rhode Island Visit 2005: Day @ the Beach (Wednesday, July 20th).

According to this particular quiz (here), I am Strawberry Ice Cream:

You Are Strawberry Ice Cream

A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core. You often find yourself on the outside looking in. Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works. You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream.

Came across this via Rael (here) and, having just taken this quiz for myself, these are my results:

Your Blogging Type is Pensive and Philosophical

You blog like no one else is reading... You tend to use your blog to explore ideas - often in long winded prose. Easy going and flexible, you tend to befriend other bloggers easily. But if they disagree with once too much, you'll pull them from your blogroll!

Just wanted to provide an update on a small change of plans concerning where I will be staying during my extended stay here in Rhode Island as it looks like I will not be tenting out after all.

My plan is to leave RI for Vermont on Monday, July 25th (when I will be taking the earliest bus home and should be in Montpelier in the early afternoon or so).

It also turns out that I will have a bit more online access down here during my third week than I thought would be possible and, as a result, I should be able to keep blogging up some stuff on my blogs between now and the day I leave here; hopefully including an item on my nephew's pet crayfish, etc. (possibly complete with photo's).

That said, due to having to make various calls to folks back in Vermont because something came up that I had to address, I used most of my calling card for those and as a result no longer have enough minutes on it to use in posting audioblog posts.

Having been extremely tired by late afternoon yesterday (Tuesday, July 12th), I reluctantly opted out of attending my sister's youngest son's ballgame last night. While I really wanted to go watch the game, all the same I knew that I was not up to going. In fact when I was online during the time everyone else was at the game, I found myself nodding off at the computer, I was so tired.

Once everyone got back home it was reported that each team had played their hearts out and it was a hard-fought game, which the other team ended up winning -- much to the disappointment of my (youngest) nephew and his teammates. These boys are definitely something to watch on the field and have nothing to be ashamed of either. Each of these young ball players made their team, families and town proud. They certainly *are* All Stars! -- one and all. 

Check Norsehorse's Home Turf blog ...

Have just posted my first audioblog post from Rhode Island, here [via Norsehorse's Home Turf].

As mentioned previously, once I begin camping out (not yet sure when that may begin however, maybe Sunday or early next week or so) my online access will be very limited or even nonexistent. As such, I will be mainly posting audioblog posts, so make sure to check Norsehorse's Home Turf once and a while both then and before too [as I have been posting various posts there as well and will not always be linking to them from here].

Just wanted to take a spare moment to say Hello from Rhode Island.

Am doing fine and am enjoying my visit here in RI very much, especially the cooler temperatures, ocean breezes and refreshing salt air.

[edited cross-post from Norsehorse's Home Turf, here]

This blogger is having an excellent time down here in Rhode Island visiting my sister and her family.

It came to mind that some of the readers of this particular blog might appreciate the below photo's, especially since they provide photographic evidence concerning the subject of my blog post posted on this LiveJournal of mine on Saturday (July 9, 2005), here.

Enjoy!

Happy summer!

(see below @ *Update*)

Today was the second All Star game for the local town team (consisting of the best players for their particular age group, selected from the various Little League teams from their town), which one of my nephews is on. They won this one and, as a result, are still in the hunt. It was a good game and they did really well.

Just a brief post to let people know that I arrived safely and on schedule to my destination in Rhode Island on Tuesday (July 5, 2005). The trip down went well and I have been enjoying the visit with my sister and her family.

[was able to grab a little more online access this afternoon, at least for a couple of hours anyway]

Had meant to also add that I managed to buy an affordable calling card with which to use for what calls I may need to make as well as primarily using it for posting some audioblog posts when I do not have as much online access (especially if and when I manage to find a campground to pitch my tent during any extended stay and there is either little or no online access available) while I am in Rhode Island and until I return to the Montpelier area.

Such audioblog posts will be posted at: Norsehorse's Home Turf.

In fact I might even post an audioblog post either tomorrow (Sunday) or on Monday (July 4th).

If you have not already done so, read my previous LiveJournal blog post: until further notice ...

If and whenever it is possible for me to do so, I will try to blog as well as check my e-mail from Rhode Island (RI); but make no promises to do so either as it depends upon what type and how much online access I may have available to me and, more importantly, I am not going to RI to go online for that matter anyway.

Elvis, er, Morgan has left the building.
