Huh! I’d play WoW with parties like that, but what you described sounded a whole lot like a foreign language to me. I only understood ‘jello shots’ and ‘beer’.

When I started reading this and thought it was about making miles, my initial response was, “Go, Don! Go!”

Then when I read the part about getting a Ph.D., my response was, “Go, Don! Go!”

So enjoy the riding, and enjoy the journey! If you’d like me to connect you with a couple of Ph.D. friends of mine, I’m sure they’d be glad to give you their take on how best to approach your new goal.

I can relate to a lot of what you said in the 2nd half of your post. That is why I left the City of Carrollton after 12 years there. I just couldn’t keep making myself do that same daily grind and it was making me a very sad panda. I still haven’t figured out how to make a living doing something I’m passionate about. (Working at the Apple store came close if I could have become one of their trainers). So my soul searching shall continue.

It was cool of you to share your inner thoughts with your readers. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors, Don.

You’re going to see Laurie Anderson in NYC? I am so jealous!

Yep. I got the bike this morning, and an on my way to New York now. There is a good chance I’ll be there two nights to avoid bad weather tomorrow. This puts me behind schedule a bit, but moving again.

My dad grew up in the White Mountains. There family had a farm there for around 200 years. I amazed myself and found his home on google maps street view. I looked up Whitefield and remembered enough details from being a kid to virtually drive myself from the center of town to their home. Amazingly geeky and strange.

Just starting too. Especially in PA. Ken is wanting to go to a park somewhere north of here to see if the color changes are starting there yet for photography purposes.
