Not those kind of dreads! BTW, that’s my friend Liz Kidder. She’s a kick ass thru-hiker and an accomplished dreads artist. Sometimes I’ll bring up my blog and hit the widget on the side of the page that brings up a random blog post I wrote. How narcissistic is that? Today’s random post was one I wrote back in 2017 that was a prompt from the below book. I had to list things that I dread during the day. When…
It’s true! Podcasts seem to have increased in popularity in recent years. They would probably be even more popular if older Gen X and Baby Boomers didn’t think they were some exotic technology best left to Millennials and Gen Z. It’s basically just like listening to people talk on the radio except you listen on your computer or phone. Anyway, the point of this post is not to educate you on podcasts, it’s to let you know that I was…
This whole post is going to sound like a bunch of whining from beginning to end about getting to do something I always dreamed about. So let me preface it by saying I am very grateful for what I got to do, because not many people get afforded the same opportunity. That being said, isn’t it more fun to read about how things go wrong and the obstacles you must overcome to get them to go right? So whining, but…
I published another book. This one is called TALES OF THE RVIDIOTS – YEAR ONE. It’s a memoir about our first year of full-time RV life. Here’s the synopsis. Myself (Lee), my wife (Michelle), and our 100 pound Golden Retrievers (Sawyer and Finn) had no idea what we were getting into. We had never owned an RV and just decided to sell our house, get rid of most of our material possessions, and go on the road. What could go…
This past weekend my dog, Finn, and I went for an overnight backpack trip on a trail here in Texas. It was the first time I’ve been on an overnighter since way back in September when we went out in the Shenandoah National Park back in Virginia. All this mostly idle time in Texas while waiting on a liver transplant has me sucking wind on the trail these days. I needed some non-conventional medicine in the form of nature. Finn…
The LeeLander landed in Franklin, NC for a couple of weeks last year in November. I had always wanted to visit Franklin because it’s an Appalachian Trail Town. I know, big shocker there, right? The bonus to this trip was that the daughter I had just made a connection with earlier in the year, also lived there. You won’t see anything about it in the video, though. It was our first time meeting IRL (other than when I held her…
Another hike, another vid…
It’s been almost a year since we were in Colorado, so I figured it might be time I posted a video about it. Colorado is just simply beautiful! We only got to explore a small portion of it for reasons you’ll see, but I can only imagine the rest of the state is amazing as well. It’s definitely on our list of places to return to. We did a lot of stuff while we were there. Some intentional, some not….
Finn and I did an overnight hike on the Appalachian Trail in North Carolina. If you are interested in such things, check out the video. If not, tell me what kind of post you’d like to see next.
Amazon just started a new service called Kindle Vella, you know, like Novella? It’s a platform where authors can release serialized stories one episode at a time anywhere from 500 – 15,000 words long. Right now I am working on three books at one time. Am I crazy? Pretty much. Doing one book at a time was hard enough, but I just got three ideas at once and had to go with it. One of the books is a follow…
