I am back after a month and a half of a wild ride. What have I been up to? I drove out West and learned to row a Drift boat with a bunch of strangers. I was North bear hunting with hounds with people who live for it. I needed a break, an adventure, and boy...I got it. Maybe a little bit of a spiritual awakening?
