I have posted just three prior days this month. Two of them were Wednesdays. As an actual Wednesday’s child, perhaps it’s destiny. Guess what day it is today? I’ve been wanting to write more than I have – I’ve even…

Catch Twenty-Two Pictures
Yesterday, I wrote 2,944 words about our trip so far. Today, as the old adage goes, I will add 22,000 or so. But you know what I think of that adage. I guess this is for those who disagree with…
The Sojourn So Far
About a week into the trip and still in the state of California. The smart money says we better get out of here before the state officially secedes by printing its own currency. If you think IOU’s can’t be considered…
On the Road Again
We have departed from Berkeley for our 6-week, 16-state tour of eastward travel. The last week has been filled with incredibly busy days and nights of packing, shipping, cleaning, and saying goodbye. Sometimes there just isn’t enough time (or a…
What I Did This Weekend

The Limits of Humanity
Bonus points for those of you who read today’s title and said to themselves, quietly, “What? About five feet in front of our face?” Emily and I spent the day at the newly rebuilt Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.…
I’ve Wrestled Bigger Crocs Than This
Sorting papers sure is fun… or something. In reality, though, nestled amongst years of dust and old bills are little moments, small time machines that immediately take me back to a precise day years earlier when I saw a movie…
