Weighed my pack in at 35 lbs, not too bad. I think I could easily get a couple pounds less than that for a short trip like this, but not sure how to go below 30. After some packing issues, Dad and I stuck our bags in the back of his truck, wrapped ... Read more >

I found a place to move into next August! Way in advance, I know. But I'm excited, primarily because I'll have my own private roof-made-into-a-deck to go out on. And the windows are facing south and west, which might mean my plants will survive! ... Read more >

Well, I’m a horrible updater. Sorry. Man, and there’s so much I should’ve written about being in Turkey, too. Perhaps I’ll insert little stories about that time in here when I’m procrastinating. I will probably be doing a lot of procrastinating.... Read more >

Well, been spending the past few days getting ready to leave and hanging out with my fam. Court's been showing me her acting skills, which are pretty good. Was kind of nervous yesterday, but today I have just enough adrenaline to make me alert and ... Read more >

Leaving the truck in a grass lot among power station consultants’ cars, my dad and I backpacked up the Mattabesett trail from the Connecticut River. The first mile was probably the twistiest, criss-crossiest stretch of trail I’ve ever been on. ... Read more >

Waking up uncomfortably early, we were able to watch the mists coming out of the valleys maybe an hour after sunrise. One region sent up a tower of mist as the sunlight hit it. I like mist a lot, and the hills had that layered, mysterious look ... Read more >

So, John and I dropped off his car at the Delaware Water Gap and headed north along the AT for his first backpacking trip. Hi John. The woods seemed all spring green, but that was because of the many tender ferns and blueberry bushes, and mostly ... Read more >

I bused down to New York from RI, which involved taking a tour past Yankee Stadium, Central Park, Harlem, some bus that said United States of America Ground Force One, ritzy car dealerships in Manhattan, and the distressing congestion leading into ... Read more >

Yeah, this is my hometown, but some of you have never been here. Driving home today, I was thinking about all the bits in life you do that no one knows about and that you forget about, and that your life disappears away. Not in a bad way, just a ... Read more >

The first hot busy night I was in Louisiana, Neil took me to the Blue Moon Saloon. Turns out it's also a hostel that requires you to listen to a lot of live music. Ok, I haven't been in a ton of bars, being too solitary and cheap and procrastinating ... Read more >

Neil and I met up with Alan and Dawn, and their baby Iliana, in Lafayette, Lousiana. I know that's a ton of names to keep straight from one sentence. I also know that technically I didn't leave the country and it seems this website is geared toward ... Read more >
