We are one night away from having completed this mega-crazy task of 1) getting the Airstream to Ohio in the winter, 2) emptying most of our stuff into a storage unit, and 3) readying the trailer for serious work by the service center. That was all enough to land us a top score in RVing […]

Four Years of Landscapes
In the theme of my photo compilation posts, on drinking our way across the continent and four years of critters, here are a few of my favorite photos (mostly landscapes) I’ve taken since we hit the road four years ago. Disclaimer: I am far from being a skilled photographer, and most of these I simply […]
How This Leg Is Different
Man, I did not mean to make such a bad joke. I was thinking about this first leg of driving to get to the Airstream factory in Ohio, but seeing as how my actual leg has a tendon in it now that it didn’t start out with, that’s different, too. Some people (aka Tracy) are […]
Saying Goodbye to Brownsville
As we prep to leave, I’m realizing that I feel reluctant to say goodbye. It’s true that our whole stay has been dominated by medical appointments, many due to mistakes made by the amazingly incompetent and uncaring medical community here that forced me into repeat appointments and tests. So, yeah, this winter has been a […]
Banjo Has More Than Enough Character
As we prep to leave Brownsville, I realize Banjo’s been largely absent here, so you might be wondering how she’s fared during this super-busy winter stay. Rolling with Routine The deal with Banjo is that, lacking a stable territory, she gloms onto routine. I mean, I know almost all dogs appreciate meals and walks at […]
Planning for 2024 on the Road
In a little over a week, we’ll be back on the road! As usual after a long period in one place, I am ready for it, even after having had my doubts after the Alaska trip. I am excited though, especially with Tracy’s plans for 2024 Longterm Plans Our main destination is Eastern Canadian: Newfoundland […]
Five Days with My Maxi Me
My son Finn hasn’t been mini-er than me since he was about ten, and now he stands more than a foot over me. Not relevant, really, because in some ways he really is my mini me. For this post I’m calling him my maxi me, though. You’ll see why. We just spent five days together […]
The Nomad Fitness Struggle
I’m sitting here writing a blog entry on the sofa instead of doing a workout, which speaks to a universal problem with fitness, right? Laziness. I think that’s why routine really gets me into working out, and it’s why it’s so hard to maintain a fitness schedule on the road. Routine is a total bitch. […]
The Surprise of Right Angles
I’m typing this in Finn’s vacation condo on South Padre Island. If you need to catch up here: My son Finn rented a couple of condos back to back for his big break from school, both on the island near where I’m spending the winter in Brownsville, Texas. The first one had only one bedroom, […]
