traveling, tramping, talking, and taking every chance I get
Welcome to the first episode of don't worry, i'm finite! I'm excited that my first guest is a good friend, Lauren Buckle, whom I met while working as a photography instructor aboard the Westerdam, a Holland America Line cruise ship. We were sailing in southeast Asia at the outset of the pandemic in 2020, which... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/eYAihmvEeGs Waking up before sunrise often yields great results. Often you'll get a beautiful landscape photo, but sometimes you will find wildlife enjoying their natural habitat. That was the case last week at Brighton Lakes in Utah where we came upon a group of moose having a nice morning by the water. I focused on... Continue Reading →
It's less than a week until Frank Turner's new album, Be More Kind, is released! This video clip focuses on Frank's acceptance of things changing as he gets older while still touring and his desire to make the most of all the time he has been given. It was inspiring for me to sit across... Continue Reading →

Most people don't think of Colorado when they think of sand dunes, but tucked just south of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains... Continue Reading →
I don't typically do book reviews, but the book I just read is relevant to travel, so why not? My reading habits ebb and flow, but when I get excited about a book it makes me want to read all the time. I just tend to have trouble finding my next book after reading something... Continue Reading →
Utah's National Parks were the first thing I experienced in this state, and they remain one of my favorite things about living here. Last weekend we made the short drive from Salt Lake City to Zion National Park to take advantage of the unusually warm winter we are having. It was so warm that we... Continue Reading →
In November of 2008 my friend Nathan and I drove across the country from New Jersey to Los Angeles. We made very few stops along the way, but one of those stops was at Arches National Park. Arches was my first introduction to what I think of as National Parks in the U.S. Sure, I had...
