ARRIVAL IN ATLANTA
When I travel, I don’t usually request a specific room at the hotels. Sometimes I might ask for one with a water view if available.
But it’s not that important to me because I don’t plan on being in that room very much during my stay. I’d rather be out doing something. Continue Reading…
Living Dreams, Chasing Rainbows….and other phenomena!

“…..Gonna live my dreams, and chase rainbows, cause there might be a pot of gold. Just pay no mind to what the people say. Gonna live my life day after day.”
….from the song “Day After Day“, written by Danny Britt.
In my previous post, “Your Presence Is Required”, I mentioned the importance of being present, taking notice of things that interest you, and then pursuing them.
So, pursuant to following my own advice, I planned a four-day weekend trip to Arizona and Texas.
I wanted to travel. I wanted to see and hear Lizz Wright sing again, in Phoenix, Tucson, and Austin. I wanted to take some pictures. To listen to music. To experience places that I had or hadn’t been to previously. To tour the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. To get a full-on, warm embrace from the sun (Seattle has been rainy and gray for three months now) while I played basketball outside in Tucson, Phoenix, or Austin, or all three. To do a couple music videos for an ongoing project of mine. To test drive a convertible Chevy Camaro. To watch the sunset from a mountain top. To stay in a luxury hotel at least one of those nights. To reach for the moon.
That’s not asking too much for one weekend, is it? 🙂
First Time to Zurich, Switzerland, But Not The Last

Although my time there was spent well, I just barely scratched the surface in experiencing what the the country has to offer. Continue Reading…
Three Hours in Engelberg, Switzerland
November 6, 2015I just got back from a trip to Switzerland. I was only there for a week but I saw and did a lot of things there.
It wasn’t a frenetic pace. I planned it out pretty well, even if I do say so myself. But because I did so much, it’s hard to share my thoughts, stories and pictures about the oh-so-short time I spent there, in just one blog post.
So, I’m doing several posts about my trip to Switzerland last week. This is the third post. The first two were “Kayak Yodeloke” and “Yodeloke in Grindelwald, Switzerland”. There will be more.
