What a Week!
Argh - I would like to write about the week I've been having. There have been so many things happening!
UNFORTUNATELY, one of those things that has happened is that I managed to wipe out on my bicycle, pulling a tendon (I think?) in my wrist. As a result, I have had to have my right hand - my dominant hand - in a splint for the past three days. This has also meant that I cannot safely ride my bicycle, so I've essentially had my wings clipped. Furthermore it makes typing very uncomfortable!
On top of that, the winds have been blowing strong from the northwest for the past week - this wouldn't normally be a problem, but what with my diminished capacity for all things manual, rowing included, I am somewhat landlocked. I've spent the past two days working from my friend Carrie's living room couch, while she is on an epic rock-climbing adventure in Thailand.
Lots has happened, and things are moving forward in my grand scheme at a very rapid rate - I'll update this site as soon as it is more comfortable to type.
Enjoy this article?

In June 2008 I realized that life in a cubicle wasn't for me, and that a great adventure would never come knocking on my basement apartment door.
I began to actively change my life. I took a part-time, tele-commutable job and began to minimize my "stuff", attempting to disengage from the rat race.
In November 2008 I threw caution to the wind and purchased a large sailing trimaran, and in May 2009 I moved aboard her full-time.
In September 2011 my girlfriend Miya moved aboard and we set sail, headed south until the water gets warm...
This blog is my journal.
