I’m ashamed to say that my friends have told me I have an easy
\nlife. I don’t know why I’m ashamed to admit it, but it’s true– I
\nhave an easy life. I wake up without an alarm clock every morning.
\nI’ve been known to leave in the middle of the day to ride my bike
\nthrough forests and scenic highways. I’ve even been known to sleep
\nduring business hours. Overall, I think most of my<\/em> life’s
\ninconveniences are self-made.
\n
\nSo every once in a while I day dream of ways to make life harder,
\nor at least more interesting– stepping away from the day to day toil
\nthat working in your underwear brings. Years ago I decided to ride a
\nmotorcycle across the US, camping with only a sleeping bag along the
\nway. This drove Roy batshit crazy– mostly because (a) I didn’t know
\nhow to ride a motorcycle (b) I bought a used bike in a dodgy dealer in
\nSouth Florida. Luckily the bike was reliable, I learned how to ride
\nit (without wiping out), and one night under the stars surrounded by
\nmosquitoes on a park bench was enough to pony up the money for comfy
\nmotels throughout the rest of the journey.<\/p>\n

I’m at a crossroads again. Having returned from a summer RVing
\nthroughout the Pacific Northwest, and a few weeks visiting friends in
\nthe UK, I’m once again bored. Nine to five is fine and exciting. I
\ndo love my job after all, but what about those precious hours of five
\nto nine, the weekends, and all that PTO I can’t seem to spend fast
\nenough?<\/p>\n

I actually threw out feelers among friends and family, on who would
\nbe up for a clueless fishing expedition, where you are not allowed to
\neat anything you haven’t caught, but I came out empty handed. Only
\nMeredith agreed, but I already knew she’s the coolest company ever!<\/p>\n

So… I’m happy to say that from hours of seemingly senseless
\nfootage on the GoPro camera, Mebs was able to edit the following
\nawesome video from a weekend of fun and pretty much no fish. A big
\nkudos to an extraordinary job of making sense of it all, and working
\nher magic behind the computer editing nonsensical videos.<\/p>\n
