Intermission Begins

29 years. I went from high school to college. College to consulting. And never looked back. 29 years using my creativity to solve my client's needs. While I have never been a work-all-the-time workaholic, it was time for a break. A sabbatical. An intermission. Before embarking on the next phase of life, whatever that will be. I had never taken a vacation of longer than two weeks. I'd dreamed of three weeks, and when I turned 50 cooked up the bright idea of -- gasp -- a month. But two years have gone by since then, and it was time.

So, off we go. Susan and I. To explore the world (well, some of it), and more importantly, ourselves. More on the exploration as we go. We will be gone for SEVERAL months, taking in various climates and continents. And our house is rented, so there's no turning back. No changing our minds.

Susan got a head start on her blogging before we left. So follow her version of this at Susan's Blue Skies. She's much funnier than me. She talks about Q-tips. And pickles.

Along the way, there will be people we meet. And sights to see. And futures to ponder. And food to try. (Food! See my food blog, Improbable Pantry!

So, follow the journey. People have asked us to send postcards. How's this?
