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.

Please flip to THE FUTURE for an update on the book.

Mobile Biosphere Day 21: What I’ve learned living in an RV
As we arrive back in Washington a week early, we're torn. Are we glad to be home, or wishing we were able to round out a full month of the #mobilebiosphere experiment? A little of both, I think. Here's what I've learned: 1. I owe pre-packaged salads an apology. If...

Mobile Biosphere Day 21: Last night under the stars
As we're cutting our trip a week short, we pulled into a camp in Oregon on our way back to Washington. What a perfect last evening! Gorgeous sunset on one side, full moon rising on the other. S'mores in the middle of it all, followed by a movie in the RV. Pure family...
