Switching Gears

The Hibbles travel America

I like to think of myself as a “leaper,” but I don’t come remotely close to my friends the Hibbles. They make me and nearly everyone else seem positively timid! Geoff and Robin have packed their entire family into an RV and will live on the road for a whole year as they travel America. It’s crazy, it’s irrational, but it’s also strangely compelling.

You can follow the Hibbles on their adventures at their Switching Gears blog. Bon voyage, y’all!

Patience, please

I was dancing around the house this afternoon to the sounds of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. This was after a secondary phone interview I did went very well. Things are going to work out after all.

It makes me realize that the most important thing to do is to set a goal. Once you set a goal everything else will fall into place. Though I’ve not been comfortable in my current situation, I need to be patient and let things play out. I’m beginning to see how the path is opening that will lead me to my goal.

As John Burroughs said, “leap and the net will appear.” I’m a leaper.

Sorry to bust out the Zen on y’all like that without any warning. I’ll follow up with a geeky post or a political rant soon, I promise!
