Hi there, welcome to the BLOG of my life as a Vagabiker. Beryl calls me a 'Free Spirit' my Grandpa a B.U.M. of no fixed address. Kelly says I'm 'off the wall'. I think that the Toad is closest saying I'm the Cat in the Hat it's fun to have fun—but you have to know how.

These are the stories of my unique, home-and-job-free Natness.

Naturally, quasi-legal events are fictional. Everything else is the unvarnished truth.

Step 1: I admit I am a relapsing addict

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Well I managed not to break any of anything over the weekend. Which was a huge relief.

One advantage E-Bay has over real-life-stores is that you don’t have to look at someone in the face and answer questions, like this one:
