The Privilege of Blogging

I think a lot can be changed just by looking at something from a different angle.

A friend mentioned that this blog has been quiet a while. Yeah, I told him, I've been working on Life Nomadic. That's part of it, but it's not everything. Sometimes I'm struck with inspiration and can't wait to get a post out. Sometimes, like a kid running across the lawn, I just want to write for the sake of writing and I crank out three or four posts.

But sometimes it feels like an obligation. Something that I should do, or something that I have to do.

2011 UNpacking Video

Okay okay okay okay okay. I'll make a packing video!

This year I unpacked my bag instead of packing it, so that you don't have to watch me place every single thing in the correct place.

You'll probably notice that I have less things than I did in the past. Off the top of my head, I don't have the waterproof boots or waterproof pants anymore. I have room for them, as you'll see in the video, but I generally only wear those in snow, and it's not snowing anywhere I'm going in the next few months.
