Anniversary Sonnet: Hey Team, Today is the “official” one-year anniversary of Amtrekker. Although yesterday was the 365th day thanks to leap year it was July 4th, 2007 when this adventure began. I’ve said it before but it’s still tough to believe things are still going. I gave you haikus on day 100. I gave you limericks on day 200. […]    read more

Thank You: Hey Team, Today is the 365th day of Amtrekker. (Although officially tomorrow is the first anniversary…wacky leap year.) It’s hard to believe I’m still out on the road after all this time. I’m not sure which PART is hard to believe. Is it more of a surprise that it has taken me this long to accomplish […]    read more

#17 Kiteboarding! [podcast]: Hey Team, After a long wait I finally managed to stay in one place long enough to compress the kiteboarding video!

“Food” Stops: Hey Team, It’s no secret that Greyhound is a long boring ride no matter where you’re going. (And mysteriously, I’m relatively sure, every ride takes about twenty-four hours.)

Greenie Green?!: Hey Team, Here’s a quick story since I still haven’t been in one place near an outlet long enough to compress this week’s video. I jumped off the bus at about five o’clock this morning in Chicago several shades shy of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and decided to meet up with a friend for breakfast before making my […]    read more

Toxic Stupidity Spill: Hey Team, Here’s a super quick update so I can go jump on a bus real quick and go try to clean up the stupidity spill I caused this morning. (Which, once again, wouldn’t be a problem if I were capable of planning ahead more than half a step. But that’s what makes me so endearing, […]    read more

Pseudo-sport Olympics: Hey Team, I’m sorry so many of you out there couldn’t partake in the 1st Annual Pseudo-sports Olympics…because yesterday was AWESOME!

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine: Hey Team, Some will say, “I didn’t want to know that?” Most will say, “Why are you tell this to the world?” My answer to both? “It’s too funny not to pass along.” Those of you that follow my twitter feed already know a portion of the story but that doesn’t mean you have all the gory (read: ridiculous) […]    read more
