Lock your love in Lovelock

The drive to Winnemucca was pretty, but uneventful. I stopped in Lovelock for some gas and cause it looks like they hired a fancy PR firm to design the town banners. Lock your Love in Lovelock. I got to Winnemucca a little later than planned what with the deep fried detour and so missed the...

Mind Trip

On August 1st I quit my career. Below is an edited version of the email I sent out to my collegues at ACT on my last day. I've been working in this business professionally since I was 10 years old and I've done just about everything there is to do on both sides of the stage and across...

My days are numbered....

I'm not sure where the summer went, but it certainly left in a hurry. I'm less than a week away from Niger, and I still have so much to do! Packing, mostly. Twenty years of procrastination have prepared me well for the last-minute preparations that now await me. One thing I won't be packing...
