Fri, April 4 - Fly to Sitka, Alaska

April through September - Design, Build, Merchandise, Employ, and Open a new store, and make it ridiculously successful.

Sun, October 4 - Run the St. George Marathon. Hey, why not?

AK Here I Come!!

I know I quit to come back and live in New York, but my old company (Del Sol) just offered me a great opportunity. I'm going to be opening a new store in Sitka, Alaska. Apparently it's about 100 miles south of Juneau. It's a big island (over 4000 sq mi) but it's a small town (pop. 8000 from what I can tell). That's definitely gonna be a shock from living in NYC, but I think it'll be a fun experience.

I leave the beginning of April, so in just a few weeks. Don't you love how quickly my plans change?

Save a Child

I totally just sponsored a child. :)

Every day, I convince the good people of New York City to give me, a random stranger, their credit card information with a promise that they are making a difference in a child's life.

They do it. Even though I hadn't done it. But now I actually have the authority to tell them to do it, since I have my own child now. Here's a picture of her:


Her name is Marjorie, she's from the Philippines and she's 10. That's all I know for now, but I'll get more info in a week or so and then I'll keep you updated.

By the way, this definitely solidifies the Philippines as a future destination in my travels. :)

I love NYC weather

My new job has me working outside for 7 hours every day. Rain or shine. Or snow. Or sleet.

So last Friday when I woke up to 4 inches of snow, I bundled up layer upon layer and went to work.

Saturday was a little different. It was nice in the morning, but then it got bitterly cold. It snowed for about an hour and then that turned to rain. Then it cleared up and got warmer, only to drop below freezing about night time.

Today was about 45 degrees and beautiful - definitely sandal weather. I went to my dad's house and he still had snow in his driveway (he's been away for a few days). So my brother and I shoveled the driveway and the sidewalk. I had never shoveled snow in my sandals before. That was fun.

Hiking Gone Wrong

I posted this last week on youtube, but I thought I should put it up here on my blog because it is directly related to my exploration of our Perfect Little Planet. It's the "Hiking Gone Wrong" saga from Mexico. I think only my mother saw the original videos that I posted a year and a half ago. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a little over 6 minutes long, so get comfortable and hit play:



I'll post another story tonight. So if you're reading this on Sunday or later, click here.
