اولین جلوه های ویژه
I have a tradition of recording First Impressions, (see this and this) which is the title of this post–in Dari, one of the local languages. (If you do something three times, does that constitute a “tradition”? In my crazy, mixed-up, non-traditional world, it certainly does!) So here is the latest in my “First Impressions” series–those precious…
“Safe Travels!”
The last time I saw my friend, Jill, before I departed Denver for the next installment of Adventures Unknown, she requested a blog post about my travels. I guess it seems potentially interesting or even glamorous to jet across multiple time zones to destinations few in most people’s inner circles have journeyed. So here I…
This Is A Test
This is a test to see if you’ll follow directions! I’ve said it before, but I’m saying it again: I’m back to blogging. I do believe this next year will be more conducive to climbing back in the saddle, so I’m going to make a sincere pledge to do so. However, I’d like to make…
Winners…And Explanations
You guys are awesome. We had some really good guessers! Or else my hints were too good. And it’s been a lot of fun, so thanks for playing along. Altogether we had forty-one participants, with five disqualified or abstained, and TWENTY correct guesses!! But before the Geo-Reveal, let me attempt to do the impossible and…
Third Time’s The Charm
It’s time for our third and final guessing game. You may remember I sponsored fun contests with great prizes…well, maybe not so much on the prizes part, but the contests were fun…when I received my last two assignments. So here’s to tradition and our third guessing game. Here are the rules: If you already know…
Reviving the Blog
Recently I was looking for a photo to show someone, and I remembered that it was on the blog. I pulled it up, searched, and quickly located the photo. Then I spent hours reliving our amazing adventures, and remembered why I started the blog in the first place–to preserve the memories. Incredible adventures we certainly…
In My Own Back Yard
Those of us prone to wander in search of far-flung, exotic adventures often encounter great discoveries in our own back yards. And while it is true that I’m prone to wander afar, I do so appreciate my own backyard, so to speak: the great Colorado wilderness. As Home Leave 2016 drew to a close, I…

AKA: Go Big or Go Home?? >or< Too Much Too Soon? >or< I’m a Sucker for a T-Shirt >or, quite simply< LOTS of Heavy Breathing [WARNING: This post is about running. If that bores you, feel free to move on. However, this is mostly a walk (run) down (up) memory lane, with lots of shout…
Primeras Impresiones
Ah, first impressions. They must, by their very nature, be captured first. If delayed, they’ll be tainted with the lens of hindsight. So many first impressions. Where do I begin? But before I do begin, here’s a little shout out to our PCS (Permanent Change of Station) experience. It is never simple, easy, or cheap to…
It’s a Wrap
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, 25 months and 1 day (yes, I counted) are in the books. All things considered, in the overall scheme of things, we’ll call the adventure a success. As Randy’s been known to say, it’s been a good life, after all. Professionally, I escaped without a…
