One of the difficult things for me with keeping a blog about what I’m doing is that, for me, I’m just doing the next thing. There’s nothing particularly special about doing the next thing. No one writes (or reads) blogs about their commute to work, the drudgery of the day, the commute home, and […]
A busy month, but it's time to move on to blue waters and sandy beaches.
Blasting (at a snail's pace) through Florida. Hey, it's warm and we can stay without marina fees... how can it get better?

The number one out of Perth headed south looks a lot like the wilds of Arizona, and occasionally like the north loop around Chicago, with the highway divided around the […]

One of my favourite things in life is meeting people and hearing about their fabulous dreams. We’re blessed with a pretty crazy community of dreamers and doers. We have friends […]

Having left Asia in an all fire hurry, tired of the press of overpopulation, ready to eat something that doesn’t include noodles or rice, and having spent 10 months, essentially, […]

Let me open by saying, “It was all my fault.” All of it. Even the parts that were not my fault and out of my control. Those were my fault […]

Our last memories of Bali are in the dark. The warm sultry dark of evening to a latin beat, not as incongruous as one might think for an island bridging […]
