Dinner with Kate and Willie 

As always…delightful to see you!

And 

Thanks for a lovely dinner at La Oficina! 

We talked about traveling, not too surprisingly.  Places we’d been, places we wanted to go.

Now I’m at home on my couch with Froggy dreaming of possibilities.

Not too shabby, eh?

Why I quit my day job…

Why I quit my day job…

When I was a kid, I loved to read. My favorite books were about far-away places like Spain and China. I would read The Five Chinese Brothers and imagine myself in China, hanging out with them, having adventures. Ferdinand the Bull and I were best friends…you get the picture.

Then I got older, time passed, and my dreams of seeing those far-away places got a little lost in the whirl of work and school.

Not any longer. I’ve saved, planned, and schemed. Yesterday I quit my job and packed my bag, and in a few days I’ll be somewhere else.

I know that travel can be frustrating. Lost luggage, sunburns, delays, and sleepless nights will be the least of my problems.

Bring it on.
