I have been doing a bit of digital prep today. Basically, I have been letting the hordes of fans that I have on my several thousand other blogs (you can stop laughing now) know that once I am on the trail, my blog presence will be mostly here. If anyone is bored, and maybe actually […]

Who knows, maybe that is just what it needs. Yet in the way of the universe, it becomes apparent to me that I need to make at […]
Can ya believe that we will be leaving in about three weeks? It seemed like just yesterday this whole adventure was just a vague idea! The last few days have been a bit … outside the routine. Which is not necessarily a bad thing since my routine is about to change drastically anyway. But this […]

For a period, I was sure this was going to be the definition of my life for some time now. But as reality often does, my euphoria at finding […]
The adventure begins very soon. I can’t wait. I generally get one of three reactions when I tell people about my plans. Some can’t imagine WHY I would do such a “crazy” thing. Others think it is a cool idea and wish they could do something similar. Most fall somewhere in between, thinking it is […]

I have been quiet here lately, as is no doubt obvious to any who actually pay attention to this site. Some might be curious why, more likely few are really interested. And that is precisely why I have been quiet. I have once again been wrestling with the concept of “Why bother?” What is the […]
