It’s midnight on a Friday night. Hurricane Sandy is passing offshore and her tentacles are reaching onshore blowing the bus around in gusts of tropical storm force winds. Squalls of rainshowers have been hitting us at all angles for the past 36 hours. Mostly, it’s been a pleasant and novel departure from borderline too hot […]

4 Years Ago
Warning: We’ve always carefully avoided using this blog as a platform to express our political leanings. We know that we have readers from a variety of backgrounds and walks of life – and we respect and honor each of you and would rather focus our energies on the things that we have in common rather […]
Dorks in Purple Shirts
Six years ago this week, we met in person for the first time. Last year I wrote more about our sappy love story. When Chris picked me up at a friend’s place near San Francisco, we discovered we had dressed exactly alike – both wearing matching purple shirts and blue jeans. We were so meant […]
Our Daily Exciting Life
As we’re a little bit visible on the interwebs, we occasionally get contacted by the media to be featured in articles, documentaries and TV spots. We have no drive or goal to be in the limelight, in fact – we’d kinda rather not be. But if there’s an authentic feeling opportunity to share our story […]
To Infinity and Beyond!
We’ve now been settled in our spot on the Space Coast of Florida for two weeks now, and it seems like we just got here. We’ve been frantically busy with lots of work related stuff. My father is retiring at the end of next month, and we’ve been super busy putting together a distributed team […]
I am the Ultimate Accessory!
My people seem to have this weird thing.. they color coordinate everything! Pillows, blankets, towels, dishes, pot holders, underwear, ethernet cables, toe nail polish. Heck, I’d bet they’d even choose produce that matches the countertops if they could! Humans are strange, but I love them. In our Oliver trailer, the interior was red and black. […]
Nomadic Nesting Mode.. On.
Nomadic doesn’t mean being constantly in motion. It just means being poised to be mobile. Our own desires for how much motion we’re undergoing in a time period changes often. Sometimes, we really enjoy moving around every couple of days and exploring lots of new locations. Such as our past summer. Sometimes it makes sense […]
A Model Citizen
When we first bought our bus last summer, I started poking around to see if there happened to be any GM 4106 scale models or toys out there. But all references I could find with a quick search included the words ‘rare’ and ‘expensive’. Seeking out a toy model would have to be a project […]
The End of an Era
We awoke early this morning (well, if you count 7am as early, we do) along Cocoa Beach. We’re parked next to our friends Sean & Louise of OurOdyssey. Two and a half years ago we met for the first time in nearby Titusville to watch the last night launch of Space Shuttle Endeavor. This morning, […]
Our Secret Summer Mission – Operation: Dip Toes
This past summer we’ve been on a secret mission, and we’d like to share it with you. Just a fair warning.. the rest of this post is a bit more sentimental than we generally share in this space. The Secret Plan Last spring my father had received some extraordinarily good news regarding his cancer treatments. […]
