The Present
I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took the summer off to invest in my family (last year, we moved back to the States after eight years in China) and to write a book.
As I move out of my professional halftime, I’m excited to embark on my next journey. As of 9/9/2020, the book is available for pre-order and my new job starts at McCann China.

Books by state
As one of our family road rules, we agreed to listen to an audio book set in each state we visit. As the path has changed each day, we're a little off schedule. For instance, we didn't want to pass up on some great literature just because California closed! So for...
Mobile Biosphere Day 10: See the Music
This award-winning photo taken by Kathrin Swoboda is so arrestingly beautiful! When it’s cold enough, we can both hear and see a bird’s melody. As we’re sheltering-in-place, life may feel colder. Are you feeling lonely or distant, despite the online...
Mobile Biosphere Day Nine – Excellent Lesson from Idaho
