Blog: Sail by the Stars V, The Final Frontier

The next leg of the trip I made shorter; thankfully, the spot was ready early so we checked in without having to take a squiggly mountain route and kill time, nor bribe Junebug with a pupcup. I took the interstate instead, which still boasted extraordinary views of the mountains and valleys the region is famed for. Continue reading

Blog: Sail by the Stars 3, Tokyo Drift ;)

The next two stays were temporary spots for a night each; the rest and relaxation provided by the cabin was paramount to this portion of the trip, enabling me to take on more miles each jump. 5 hours of driving followed, and while I wrote at only 8:00pm local time, I could have easily fallen Continue reading

Blog: Sail by the Stars, Part Deux

The narrative continues – this covers the next two nights, continuing to break up the content to a reasonable length. The next place that I stayed was a well-preserved 1950s cabin overlooking a broad lake. It reminded me heavily of my grandparents’ house from when I was young, which was sold in the mid 2000s.

Hot Take: Hope

If there’s one thing I can take away from all of the rapid change in my life, it’s that there are choices each person can make to bring about hope. The world is in turmoil. The inundation of doom in news media, constant advertising that drives commerce based on projected insecurities, and a constant focus Continue reading

Blog: August’s Open Skies

The journey to the next Port of Call was comparatively brief, but the lead up so intense that I once again feel held together by thin wire, and I can barely stay standing. I consistently find myself swearing and wishing I could magic my belongings into a bag of holding. Instead, soaked in summer’s stickiness, Continue reading

Hot Take: Defining Success

I’ve heard numerous times the popular phrase – successful people do what unsuccessful people won’t/don’t. Like many of these short, powerful statements, I never struggled to understand it conceptually, but also couldn’t articulate that into any practical, applicable action to take in my life. Furthermore, examining many of the folks that like to use phrases Continue reading
