I had planned for 6 months before leaving for Hawaii on the 26th of December, 2012. Christmas for the three year previous were littered with disaster, several kinds of disasters. Read the rest of this entry »

I recently returned from a trip that spanned from Wyoming to New Mexico! Two weeks for good food, tasty beer, and unrelenting adventure has left me with more stories than I know what to do with.

After over a year, I’m back in Denver visiting my business partner and friends. This city is more beautiful than I remember… I was probably so overwhelmed by my car situation last year that I didn’t take Denver in for what a great town it is.

Instead of Rock’n and Jam’n, I’ve been going to Movement in Boulder to keep up my training while out of town. So far, I really like it. The ratings are on par with what I’m used to at Brooklyn Boulders, although I am missing the horizonal to the ground options that the Beast at BKB provides.

Thursday, I’ll pick up a rental car from the airport and head out to Santa Fe where I booked a hotel by the square for my first real vacation (no coding! no coding at all!) in a very very long time. Bandelier National Monument is on the agenda. I intend to hike the Frey Trail either at sundown or sunrise. I’ll spend two nights there and then head over to ABQ to hang out with old friends and chosen family.

Monday, I’ll be flying back to NYC by way of Chicago… right now, I hate to think of leaving. I want to stay here long enough to be sick of it…

Its Friday the 13th! The drive began with a lot of rain and wind, but the day quickly cleared up into a beautiful morning. My destination for the day is Chapel Hill, NC deep in the heart of tobacco country!

I dawdled around DC attempting to re-kindle my feelings for the place I had spent three months exploring a couple years ago, but I ended up getting turned around and lost. Nothing seemed familiar, for some reason, and when I found myself back out of the highway headed south I decided it wasn’t time for the visit.

I’m staying with my buddy Tim tonight and will see how I feel about sleeping in my car the rest of the trip. Nothing past this point is planned. I just have to be in Fort Worth by Monday night to be working bright and early Tuesday.

In a week, I’ll be driving to Texas from NYC! This is the first draft of my route.
