I’ve got the seemingly perfect set up: running team, apartment in NYC, recent salary increase with plenty of opportunities for overtime pay, even an incredible woman nearby who I’ve had so many wonderful moments with. So why in the HECK am I moving to China in mid-August?! Wow. Is this really happening? Yes. Yes, it…

The End? No, It’s Only Just Begun…
Summer’s over? Way I see things, the adventure is beginning…Last night’s job offer in Shanghai shows me there is a wide world out there awaiting discovery. I love America. I have become a quasi-New Yorker. I am a wannabe Kentuckian. Yet, I am compelled to seek. Finding myself alone in many ways, I am impassioned…
Next Steps…
Finding myself yet again at a “turning point”–hear that, history students of mine?–I must decide how to move forward. [see recent posts, including What the F–k is Wrong With Me?!”] Life is indeed short. Way too short to be stuck in a job you don’t have passion for. Way too short to spend all…
Walking in Honest Abe’s Footsteps
Arguably the most transformative and effectual president in American history was born right here amid the rolling green hills of Kentucky on February 12th, 1809. Thomas & Nancy Lincoln were living on 300 acre Sinking Spring Farm just south of what would soon become Hodgenville (1818) when Abraham Lincoln was born. The icy cold stream…
Cave Hill
Traveling through Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville is a journey to a foreign land: historic, opulent, monumental, serene, sacred. Cave Hill is an enchanted land of hills and ponds within one of America’s greatest neighborhoods–The Highlands. As one travels its winding pathways, there is no end to a remarkable diversity of graveyard architecture and introductions…
I’d Like You All to Meet Kiara…
Kiara is the wonderfully undead dog written about in my post two days prior, Resurrected! I shot these this morning during my run to share… Kiara: Thank you so much for resurrecting! I love you.
Portal
When a portal opens, do you run the other way—or pass through, into the unknown?
Resurrected!
Have you ever longed for an old friend who died? Praying he or she would come back even for just one more hug. One final moment together. One of the best things ever happened during my run an hour ago… A ferocious looking farm dog named Kiara who is actually one of the nicest dogs…
In the Blood
Regardless of my travails, I’m home. While down in a hole, the fragrance of freshly mowed grass reminds me I’m still alive. John Deeres drive by as I swing on the front porch, leaning to touch the log home. Rabbits run the field where horses eat as cows swim in their pond. Geese eat alongside…
“He’s the Best Cat We’ve Ever Had. “
—-at least 2 groomers, including Nicole herself, at Nicole’s Grooming. Today, in Bardstown, Kentucky. I am so very proud of my son! He has not been letting me clip his nails these past few weeks, so I had to bring him in to a groomer for the first time in his 9 years, but I’m…
What the F–k is Wrong With Me?!
My boy Charlie was right— Not this Charlie… these are the best of times and worst of times. Yes, as many of you all know, I had an amazing expedition to and through Asia this summer. As many of you may not know, I even got to embrace and kiss beautiful women in Thailand &…
