Look at that baby face!

Check it out! My husband's a star -- kinda sorta. For something he did 14-or-so years ago. Mostly he looks like he's screwing around on the job. Photographers...sheesh...

Anyway, click here to go to a link to a video taken when a guy named Tim was shooting for the South Dakota Department of Tourism. This was more than a year before Tim and I met (and back in the day, kiddos, when photographers shot something called FILM and processed it in something called a DARKROOM). His face looks like he's about 12!

I must admit. I watched that 18 seconds of video about 20 times this afternoon.

While you're at the site, take a few minutes to look at some of the great SoDak photography by Web site owner, department of tourism chief photographer, and Tim's former boss, Chad Coppess. He's the artistic eye behind most of the images in the travel guides you'll order for your next summer vacation to the Black Hills, Badlands, Wall Drug, Corn Palace, and so on.

So all of a sudden, this "Wandering Amylessly" blog starts popping up as one of the top referrers to my blog and I'm a little surprised.
Then I remember why. Glad you're enjoying it.
Say Hi to Tim and Henry.

Hey Amy... remember when we all went on vacation that one year to Wall Drug and the Badlands and Mount Rushmore?? :) Was that the cheese soup incident? I don't always bring that up to make you feel bad or anything I just REALLY remember it. It's hilarious now of course! Or was that the year I kicked you off the bed?? :) Ahh good times. I always liked when you went with us!

Hate to disappoint you Bri, but I don't even remember the cheese soup incident. I've probably blocked it out for some reason. No, I don't want you to remind me...

So, I Changed My Mind

More than four years ago, the blog and I parted ways. I needed a change. A whole lot happened in my world since then. I switched jobs a couple times. My kid went from an elementary school tween to a teenage high schooler. We built a new house and moved. Both my parents and my sister have passed. The world around me changed as well. Mass shootings, racism, the #metoo movement, a misogynistic bigoted narcissist in the White House ... go ahead, add to the list. Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019.  I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
