A quick update to explain where I’ve been lately… The last week of travel was brutal. I went from Bangkok to Tokyo to Honolulu to Seattle to San Francisco to Las Vegas to Minneapolis to Green Bay. The two longest legs of those flights (Tokyo to Honolulu and Honolulu to Seattle) were both overnight, red-eye …
I was notified a few days ago that my father was taken to the hospital after suffering sever pneumonia and possible heart attack. He is currently unconscious on life support. I’m going to cut my travels short to return to the US to be with my family. I’ll be arriving in Barcelona on Monday and …
My trusty assistant Amy and have I been working on developing my schedule for the rest of the year. It shouldn’t be as hectic as April-July was for me, but it will still be pretty busy. Starting on Thursday, here is where I’m scheduled to be: September 22 – September 28, Toronto, Ontario: I’ll be …

It has been six months to the day that I closed on my house and became a homeless wanderer. Since then I estimate, with the help of Google Earth, that I have traveled 42,000 miles and have visited 20 “countries” (See the link on the country list to the left for the definition of country …
