The Last Blockbuster
Twenty-four years after starting my career as a Blockbuster Video employee, I found myself at its last store.
Meet Missoula’s fence dogs
A hole in a fence introduced me to some very curious neighbors.
Life lessons from fostering dogs
Fostering dogs reminded me how much I love dogs and how my mental health can survive the pandemic.
Revisiting the Grand Canyon
A familiar trail took me to new sights in one of our country’s greatest national parks.
Food & politics in Kanab, Utah
I didn’t expect a liberal vegetarian to be welcome in southern Utah. But I just had to know where to look.
Friendship in Missoula
A stop to visit old friends and new dogs was just what I needed.
Making friends through work
Our distributed workplace makes us eager to hang out offline!
Healthcare on the road
Some holiday accidents in Syracuse underscored the importance of regular checkups.
What’s in a name?… Mine, specifically?
How do you pronounce “Gagne”? Depends on where you are and who you ask.
Cali’s new love
This summer, I met a girl who liked all the same things I do.
I wish Airbnbs listed their #walkscore. My current place in Central Massachusetts has a score of 3, whereas my stay in Alameda, CA, had a score of 89. The difference is noticeable in my day-to-day exercise and happiness. #Airbnb #Digitalnomad #Roadbits https://www.walkscore.com/
I had a great time dogsitting Summer & Biscuit in Colorado this winter! More important, it taught my friend the joys of having a dog in one's life. Thanks to @Housesitting for the opportunity! #Roadbits #DigitalNomad https://roadbits.net/dogsitting-summer-and-biscuit/
Anyone ever been to @trooseveltnps — our country's only national park named after a person? I'm thinking of hiking the Caprock Coulee Trail this Thursday, weather permitting. #FindYourPark #DigitalNomad #Roadbits https://www.nps.gov/thro/planyourvisit/caprock-coulee-nature-trail.htm
I just calculated my total housing costs for 2021. I spent 52% more than in 2020. 😱
I knew California & Colorado would be expensive places to live. But #Airbnb's overall prices have gone up, too. #Digitalnomad #Roadbits https://www.businessinsider.com/airbnb-prices-higher-travel-rebound-earnings-hotels-spending-vacation-2021-5
I arrived in #MissoulaMT last night, which is my first time in two years of nomading I've gone *back* somewhere. I did not anticipate the relief I'd feel at not having to engage in the "where is everything, how do I live/work here" new-city routine. #DigitalNomad #Roadbits
