In celebrating my 14th wedding anniversary yesterday, it occurred to me that another anniversary simply flew under the radar a couple weeks ago. Namely, the anniversary of our original journey and the launch of this blog.
Much has changed since June 18, 2009 when we packed up our car, rented out our house and hit [...]

December 31, 2009 0I’m not gonna lie. There are no tears being shed as we close out 2009. It’s managed to be both the best and the worst year in recent memory.

November 6, 2009 3The biggest differentiator at GroundFloor Media, one of Denver’s “Best Places to Work” in 2008, is that it is made up entirely of senior PR practitioners. The average number of years in the business for those who work with GroundFloor is around fourteen. And over its eight-plus years of being in business, the agency has [...]
I knew it was going to be a good day when I jumped out of bed at 5:30 am completely awake after only 5 hours of sleep. The kids wanted eggs for breakfast and I thought we were out..but two were hiding in a carton in the back of the fridge. My favorite jeans were [...]

The Camano Island Arts Association (CAA) has been leading the prolific arts community of the area for more than a decade with its annual Studio [...]

Specifically, I need to give Hyatt Place mad props.
It is a masterful hotel strategy. I don’t know if they intended [...]
Literally and figuratively, I have an expansive view of this journey to-date from my perch at the Mueller State Park campground.
First a note on the altitude. For anyone who has spent any time in this thin air, you may recognize it does a number on you. We’re all beat by about 9pm. Attempting to [...]
Approaching two weeks on the road now, it’s time to take stock of our mobile office.
First, what’s NOT picture:
32″ LCD Monitor
Keyboard & Guitar (Johannes is writing a song for a video game)
Johannes’ laptop (he was working at time of photo)
Professional speakers (see note above re: song)
One thing the discerning reader will note is that [...]
