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?
