2016: The Year of Staying Hungry

On a recent road trip, Judy and I were discussing our goals for 2016.  We are strong believers in dreaming big and then making those dreams happen. Seeing the world from A to Z is a manifestation of a dream that Judy turned into reality. As we thought through our goals for 2016, both personally… Continue reading 2016: The Year of Staying Hungry

Fort Worth – A Step Back in Time

I’m no historian, but I love to hear and read the histories of people.  That makes travel to “historical sites” challenging, as they are often too sterile to be interesting…at least to me.

What Time Is It?

Every day for the past week my internal clock has opened my eyes at about 4:30 am. It’s driving me crazy. The alarm is set for 5:35, but my internal clock doesn’t know how to read the clock on the nightstand, it knows a whole different method of telling time.

Getting Ready – Neverending Lists

I am a list maker. It's somewhere between habit and obsession. Weeks before I leave on a trip I start writing lists ... Things to remember to pack; things to remember to do before I go; things to do when I'm at my destination. The trip I am getting ready to take with my guy… Continue reading Getting Ready – Neverending Lists
