Three themes evolved over the past week which revolved around another trip in my camper. This was a shorter one though as it was “only” 1,100 miles in total to upstate New York and back. The reason for going was a bike race that Andrea wanted to compete in. She’s been moving away from the […]

2014 BusFusion – Trip Report
After months of preparation, the 2014 edition of BusFusion is now a string of awesome memories. It started on Thursday (June 5th) with cool weather however by Friday afternoon the sun was out and the warmth tempted a lot of people into going for a swim in the Mississippi River. And the wonderful weather lasted […]
Moab Trilogy Book 3: The Trip Back to Toronto
When I was trying to decide how to write this final book of the trilogy, I started by thinking that it would be the least interesting to readers. It’s certainly just as full of adventure as the previous two books, in different ways though. So I’ll just keep writing and you can make of it […]
A Second Moab Trilogy – This Time in Video Rather Than Words
After-thought, written hours after this was first published but as I first really got to think about it… yes, there will be a third book written for the Moab Trilogy! I was just going through the videos so I could fact check and decided to edit some of it as I went along. Some time […]
Moab Book 2: Being There
I feel like like I skipped over so many things along the way to summarizing the first part of the trip… how the weather was (soooo much better than it had been when I left TO), what it felt like to be on the road (and on the road alone)… I am really getting to […]
Moab Trip, in Three Parts
I’ve decided to break the trip down into three parts: my journey getting there, up to meeting Bob and spending a few days in Moab learning from him going to Vegas to pick up Andrea, the time we shared riding and camping around Moab, and then heading back to Vegas the trip back to Toronto […]
Back in Toronto…
I’m still just gathering up all the loose ends of the trip and have unpacked all of the “stuff” from Babe but I’m not quite prepared to sit and write down all the thoughts and memories… still digesting those I guess. I enjoyed the trip a lot, on a number of different levels, and it […]
Exhausted but still full of adrenaline…
I’m sure lots of my friends can relate to this post, it’s the result of an adventure-filled day and the effects last for a varying length of time (I assume there’s a direct relationship to the level of excitement and duration of the high but haven’t bothered to get clinical in any form of analysis). […]
On the road to Moab – day 2
It’s either 9:30pm or 10:30 pm, I haven’t set clocks so I’m not sure which time is right for where I’m camped tonight (which is the home of the Jesse James wax museum in Stanton MO, don’t ask). Regardless of which clock is right, I’m enjoying sitting here in a t-shirt… the weather has improved […]
Another countdown: the end of my first contract experience
I’ve now officially let it be known that I won’t renew my IT contract, which ends in mid-March. With just over a month left I’ve started thinking through the steps I need to complete to wrap it up professionally and to what comes next. It’s exciting, I suppose that is part of the nature of […]
