Of the trips to 30 countries, 50 states, and 43 U.S. national parks I’ve taken, the trip we took in April with Bob Goff in Israel is likely my favorite. We started in Galilee, explored the Golan Heights, sailed the Sea of Galilee, walked in Capernaum, picnicked at Mount of […]
In March, I saw some live music, a live William Shatner, volunteered to chaperone my 2 middle schoolers’ field trip to Nashville, and my wife and I went to Key West for a weekend work conference, and all were very enjoyable! Here are March 2023’s 31 seconds:
February is always among my favorite months of the year, as I attend my annual Mardi Gras legal conference and, back in the day, the Dad 2.0 conference, along with an occasional ski trip and/or AAJ conference (last year I had 4 trips in February!). This year was similar–my bride […]
During the first month of the new year, I did some group rides with my Harley Owners Group, I argued with some defense lawyers, and we rucked or mountain biked in the nearby woods. I saw my favorite dental hygienist again. I went up to the Hike Inn with L2L […]
In December, we got to see Phil again when he came to Atlanta for a book signing and Q&A. We had several holiday parties (but fewer than we did before Covid), took an impromptu trip to Miami Beach for a new attorney friend’s 10-year anniversary as a firm, and I […]
November began with a legal conference before the Mrs and I flew to Copenhagen for our anniversary weekend, where we enjoyed some of the best restaurants in the world, closely following the stops enjoyed on Somebody Feed Phil’s Denmark episode. Then we saw Billy Joel + Lionel Ritchie with friends […]
In October, I had 5 work-related trips that we did our best to turn into fun. One was to Portland, Maine, so I hit my 43rd U.S. National Park–Acadia ! We started in Myrtle Beach, flew to Phoenix, then drove to Jekyll Island, GA, and then flew to Baha Mar […]
We started Labor Day weekend by diving at the the Huntsville Space and Rocket center , doing an underwater diving park near Gadsden, and then spent a rainy Monday at the Barber Motorsports museum by Birmingham. We got front row seats for a show and then spent my bride’s birthday […]
In August, I worked a lot; the children returned to school; we saw 2 concerts; I returned to Reliance, Tennessee to spend a weekend with my high school friends for the 8th straight year, and the Mrs. and I were invited to a black tie gala with the Governor. And […]
It required several 7-day work weeks before and after, but I took 3 consecutive trips with one day at home to repack. We flew to Seattle the day after my eldest turned 16, spent a week (and > 1,000 miles) exploring the national parks in Washington before heading to NYC […]
