Still On Strike

It's taken me longer than it should have, but I did finally skid to a stop with my spending.  No more coffee from Turks ... for awhile.  This is a good thing as I will have to live on less than I was before retiring/quitting

Maggie has left on her big adventure.  Mwa.  If she has half the number of wonderful experiences I had when I travelled, she'll have had a good trip.

We are both still stoked for our Road Trip and are committed to an asap-etd.  We have not taken Burning Man off the Itinerary and surfing in the USA (?) continues to hold #1 spot on Things To Do & Places to Go Lists.

I'm stoked to be doing my last year and final project of my "learning journey": "A XXX Model of Support in an Inner City Elementary School" and will be blogging about that at QA Resource site.  

Women Who Wander

Women Who Wander is the current working title for our road trip.

Since committing to the project, it's all I can think of.

(Inspiration Maps ... one of my favourite apps)

It's not just the trip ... it's allowed me to pull it all together.  It's got it all:

• a road trip
• time with Maggie (and, hopefully, other family)
• an intellectual focus
• a creative focus
• a personal/spiritual focus
• an awesome "distraction"

I'm glad that Maggie is going to Europe this fall and a little weirded out about how eerily similar her life is to my life was at her age.

U of R, 1972
VCC, 2011

This is us at the same age, our post secondary student cards.  26758 ... I can still remember my student number.

My Mother, My Self

The notion of making up for something done to somebody who is dead is ridiculous.  Perhaps the best, or at least something, I can do is dedicate this project to you.

Mom ... you were heroic on your final journey and I loved you so much.


My Mother - My Self

Women Who Wander

Maggie and I are going on an open-ended road trip beginning with Burning Man, 2015.  She is leaving for Europe in September and I will begin my last year before retiring.

The idea struck on June 16th, 2014 and we have been talking about it ever since.

We will each have a shared and solo journey.

So far we have:

• Pay it Forward - we pay forward 1/3 of whatever we get.  
• Doing Interesting Things for Fun while Looking Good
• Comment and Publish in Social Media
• Equally shared expenses of transportation, accommodation, nutrition 
• Gesamtkunstwerk 

Shared/Individual Identities: Adventurers, Artists, Activists, Philosophers, Mother/Daughter, Women, Sisters, Friends, Acquaintances

I'm going to walk the dogs, then wake up Maggie to go to Euro Cafe for a meeting before I leave for strike duty.  We must talk about shared and solo projects, manifesto, ideals ... Humor & Art
