1/6 to 1/9/2023 – I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to poke around in quite a few of the mountain ranges of the North American west, but for some unclear reason I have always just driven past the Tetons.

The Dirty Dempster

7/20 to 8/8/2019 – Slow down. Life gets away from us quickly and time slips away. Close friends move and shake and, suddenly it seems, they haven’t seen each other in a year or more. Jonny and Leslie have been two of our closest friends for a gosh-darn long-while and are so close they’re really […]

Xin Chào!

11/05 to 11/23/2018 – Another awesome year of marriage meant an another honeymoon bicycle tour. This time, Grete and I met up with her Uncle Mike in Hanoi to go for a backroads tour of Northern Vietnam.
