walkin’ in Memphis (and adjusting on the fly) (February 22, 2021)
It’s time to kick Monday’s ass… Hello from sunny-still-snowy Memphis (holla if you’re nearby!). Let’s talk about driving on ice and snow. For most of my friends in the Southern US, that was a new or unfamiliar experience as a hard freeze blew in and took out all of Texas last week. I’d had my…

It’s time to kick Monday’s ass… Lately I’ve been feeling a little guilty. Here I am on this epic road trip, with lots of people tuning in to live vicariously through my adventures. And I haven’t been adventuring. In fact, for a good two weeks I holed up at home (as “home” as an Airbnb…

Read MoreMemphis day 3: haunted closets and murder
Is my Airbnb haunted? I’ve got a closet door in my bedroom that pops open at random, and it always manages to startle me. I kinda like to imagine it’s haunted… Only this ghost only opens this particular door, for mysterious ghostly reasons. Is it inviting me to Narnia? I like the ghost explanation too…
Read Moreon the road again: destination Memphis
Her highness and I hitting the road to Memphis… Her song is loud and proud. And continuous. We’re taking a quick food break so I let her out of her backpack prison. She’s being surprisingly chill. I took 55 and there were some parts of MS that are still pretty icy. If the roads weren’t…

Unanticipated digital nomad challenge #7532: Never thought I’d be rationing toilet paper so I didn’t have to buy a new pack before I check out of my Airbnb. Try as I might, didn’t make it. Had to buy a 12-pack from the Walgreen’s around the corner with less than 24 hours to go until check…
