And then there’s this spot where the plans are laid, the excitement is all worn off, and then, you wait.
Fiona’s passport? On the way.
Vancouver trip? Planned, ready, nothing to report, nothing to do.
Vancouver workshop? Ready to promote, but no action yet.
San Diego trip? Um, yeah, there’ll probably be a San Diego trip, but nothing to report yet.

The entire family. I believe this was taken outside of Ross Castle which is just outside of Killarney in January 2005. That’s Joel, Sue, Fiona and Rachelle.

When we first moved to northern California in 2003 we spent a lot of time adventuring. This was our first tip to Lake Tahoe. I was not as eloquent or verbose in this travelogue. Perhaps I had other things on my mind.
Sue and I drove to Lake Tahoe. It [...]

Another segment of my Oak Creek travelogue, originally posted back in 2002
I spend a weekend every other month or so at Dave’s house in the mountains just east of San Diego. Seven years ago he bought a few acres in a little valley and now he and his wife Destiny raise goats and llamas.
Since Dave lives just over an hour east of here (‘here’ being the ocean, which I can hear from my bedroom window) I make it a habit to stop in on my way to Arizona, besides my usual visits. From Dave’s, it’s only a 4–hour drive to Dan’s house in Sun City.

One challenge we’ve had on our various journeys has been eating. There are two reasons for this:
- When it comes to restaurant food, I’m pretty fussy; I’ll take home-cooked anything over overpriced mediocre restaurant food; and closely related to that:
- I have allergies which certain foods seem to aggravate, turning into a vicious cycle
Now, for you wonderful folks who’ve offered a place to stay along the way, not to fear. Once you see the details you’ll see how easy it is for us to adjust, and how you won’t have to lift a finger. Honest.

Where do I start? So much has happened in the last two weeks. We’ve had wonderful supporters and of course those who have their concerns. We’ve tried to address any concerns and realize that there will always be those who don’t fully support our ideas. That’s okay. I wanted to to step back and start from the beginning and share my perspective of how this all started, where we’re at and where we hope to go.
There’s no one factor in our making any of these decisions. There are several: happiness, spirituality, family, work, friends and more. Each of these factors need to be considered as we move forward.

I’m feeling fairly squished and tentative today, but I’m going to soldier on and share the goals Sue and I talked about Tuesday night when we couldn’t sleep.
We realized that what was important to us was not what we had or did, but what this gave Fiona, so our goals are based on that.
Subject to change upon discovery, and all the other usual disclaimers apply:
