Not Done Yet;
Earlier this year I took the time had alone during the Covid19 shutdowns to finish writing the #50for50 blog posts from my adventures in 2019. At the time I thought, “I’m so happy I’m not trying to do my #50for50 in 2020. Heck it would be hard to do 20 things in 2020.” Fast forward …
The End of the #50for50 Journey
Back on New Year’s day I finished the last of the #50for50 adventures when Alex and I went go-karting. However in reality I had not finished. One of the items on the list was from my friend Dasya Duckworth when she challenged me to blog about all of my adventures. Over the last week leading …

Queen, Grace & Glory
The short story of that week in August last year is: I got a tattoo and I saw a band for the first time that I’ve followed since I was 12 years old. Maybe for some people that is an average week in their life. But for me those two adventures were definitely worthy of …
A River Ran Through It
A river ran through a lot of my #50for50. As I have reviewed what all I did and hadn’t yet documented from last year I noticed a few themes. Four of my 50 involved getting into and onto the waters of NC. Which was fitting since my life in 2019 certainly was full of twists, …
