He’s home. That’s the last one. My stuff is no longer distributed all over the country, and I think I can finally say we’re fully transitioned out of RV life. What a crazy weekend.

Bridges, not Ladders
I’ve found the biggest leaps in my career rarely come from climbing corporate ladders, but instead crossing bridges. This post is intended to be a gentle prompt for you to think about your career and consider “is it time to cross a bridge?”

Well that didn’t go as planned lol. Turns out the blizzard that’s hitting Vermont this weekend decided to come a little early, so we had to scramble to get the camper packed today after making the drive from Ohio, then drive the rig to Albany through snow. We’ll finish this tomorrow, just glad to be parked away from the bulk of the snow.

I can’t stop listening to this album. There’s something about the 1800’s era Americana theme, combined with…just really catchy melodies. I’ve actually listened to it so much that it’s caused me to watch documentaries about “Ohio Fever” and “The Year Without a Summer”.
Funny, since we just came back to Ohio after our 4 years on the road. Maybe we had Ohio Fever, too.

I think the biggest takeaway I have from our years traveling in the RV is that the world is so much smaller than you think it is. What feels like an entirely different world is usually 1-2 days away. I remember before we left, I would think “I have to go all the way to PITTSBURGH?! (2 hours away)” and now I find myself looking at the Outer Banks (9 hours away) like “I could be flying my kite on the beach before dinner today.”
Even longer trips, such as going to Yosemite National Park, is only 3-5 days of travel by car, and I’d even get to make a pit stop to Taos on the way ????.
