Booker T. Washington. I remember his name from school, but like so many other names, stories, and facts I can no longer recall all of the details. But the information at the “Booker T. Washington National Monument” in Virginia would fill in my knowledge gaps. Washington was born on this […]

On August 26, 2015 the National Park Service will turn 100. Is it crazy to try to see 100 National Parks by the time NPS turns 100? It might be. But I’m going to give it a try anyway. I never paid much attention to National Parks while I was […]
Monday, June 30, 2014 marked one full year on land after ships. It’s a day I honestly didn’t know if I would ever see. One year ago I was completely overwhelmed. I had accepted a job on land, five hours from my family, and I had three weeks to put […]

Yesterday morning I posted on Facebook that I was off to Europe. Sorry to those of you who feel tricked, but I was really off to “EU in the US.” The EU Embassies hold an open house on the Saturday closest to Europe Day (May 9). I’d never been in […]

I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Arizona. I’ve had some great times. I’ve seen some great stuff. But it’s certainly not one of my favorite places on earth. The dichotomy starts as soon I get off the plane – I have a love/hate relationship with the Phoenix airport. […]
Since I’m currently flying back from my second trip to Seattle this year, I guess I should tell you about the first. My first Seattle trip of 2014 was actually my second time here. I visited a couple years ago. It was a whirlwind trip – true to form of […]
I’m so glad January is over. I was really looking forward to 2014. 2013 was pretty rough for me. I experienced some great things last year, but the lows were just as low as the highs were high. At the end of 2013 I felt like I was finally in […]
The post you’ve been waiting for! Or not. Actually probably not since I’ve never done one of these before. A friend of mine recently published his review of everything he watched and read over the year and I decided to give it a try. This exercise has led me to […]
