I’m a total slacker. I’ve missed posting twice this week. I made a vow to write two posts per week and I’ve now missed that.
What can I say? I’m not offering up some lame excuses – I just suck.

You may not know them, but damn, they sure look pretty.
Do you know where this is? Me neither.

A few of the things I’m most looking forward to when I leave the office to join the world.
Hopping on the bike without a destination or a schedule, just exploring.
Writing regularly and writing actual fiction, rather than the fiction of business proposals and expense reports. » Read more: 12 Things I’m Looking Forward to While Traveling RTW
