I’ve never sought out readers here; I even clicked a box to keep this website from popping up when anyone googles it. You know that I started writing it only as a way to keep friends in the loop with where we were. So, I don’t have a lot of readers. I dunno, maybe 50 […]

Coming Down from Alaska
I’m a real sap when it comes to that Kris Kristofferson song, “Sunday Morning Coming Down.” The chorus goes: On the Sunday morning sidewalk Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. ‘Cause there’s something in a Sunday Makes a body feel alone. There ain’t nothing short of dying Half as lonesome as the sound On the […]
Crafty Nomad (kind of)
It’s a chilly, rainy day in south Texas, so I’m looking around inside for something to do that’s moderately productive. This is where “craft” enters my vocabulary; in my before life I used that word only after “beer.” Another oddity: I have time on my hands but very little space. I can’t garden, or do […]
When You’ve Done So Much You Forget It All
That image up top is from three years ago today, the first night we slept in our new home. Okay, it was in the dealer parking lot in New Jersey and our next-day destination was a storage lot in Maryland, but still. That feels like a lifetime ago. When someone asks me about a particular […]

Best of 2022 Here at GDTR
This year we traveled more, we saw more, and I posted more, so this post is long! Even I was worn out by the time I finished putting it together. So, find a comfy chair, scroll through, and click on what seems interesting. (If you want a really quick version, hit up this photo-only recap.) […]
Blogging in Dark Times
As I write this, I’m thinking about the war in Ukraine. Yet, almost two years ago, I wrote about the weirdness of “living on vacation” and writing about it when the rest of the world seems like it’s on fire (George Floyd had just been killed). I’ve blogged about my nomadic life during the worst […]
Post Compilations
I use this blog as a journal: to document where we go, scenes from there, how I feel about certain places, yadda yadda. And I often scroll through the archives to find stuff. I keep feeling like there’s so much content here that’s lost among the long chronology of my entries. So I’m beginning to […]
Let Me Know What You Think!
Hey guys, I’ve been writing this blog for more than a year and a half, amazingly. And although I write it for myself, I’m curious how you read it and what changes you might like to see. Your name won’t be associated with your answers, but you’re welcome to elaborate in the comments. Thanks! Thanks […]
