There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.

TrailMix is awesome. I remember when I would scoff at such a sorted collection of twigs and berries in preference for a sack of Doritos. Doritos are still pretty awesome, but TrailMix… its not a snack, its a meal. And I intend to make a science of it. Can I replace all my meals save one a day with TrailMix? I am working on my own special blend…
- A Base of Oats
- Craklin Oat Bran
- Banana Chips
- Dried Cranberries

Lent, the revenge…

As part of my observation of Lent this year, and in preparation for the SuperTrip, I have decided to wear the same pair of underwear for 40 days. My confidence is still quite hi, although I am only 3 days in. There was a day when people did not have drawers full of briefs and people managed… I can as well. These are no ordinary pair of underwear though, they are made of a new spaceage super-material, known as Capilene…
- Odor Resistant
- Stain Resistant
- Indestructible
… we’ll see… we’ll see…
Lent, the return…

Last year I gave up pop (soda) for 40 days. This year I am choosing to drink water exclusively, thereby denying all other liquids; pop, soda, juice, beer, wine, or whatever else flows.
Last year was a challenge, two days in and I was having fairly severe withdrawal headaches around the time of my usual sweet beverage fix. I was amazed how the experience altered my desires in just 40 days. I still drink pop now, but with less than half the fierceness that I had. The question is, can abstaining also build a good habit?
I am also going to use the 40 day opportunity as a sort of training boot camp for the supertrip. For 40 days I will…
- Have my passport on me whenever I leave my house
- Sleep with only the provisions I will have while traveling
- Wear the same pair of underwear, I am serious
Shoot for the world, settle for Europe…

Drive 10 hours straight to New Jersey
Get on a train to Manhattan
Work your way to Time Square
Get some pizza
Watch the ball drop
It starts to rain
Go to ground zero
Go smoke cigars at the rivers edge
Sleep in a gun battery
Watch the Statue of Liberty in the fog
Get on a boat to Stanton Island
Look at the Statue of Liberty
Go back to Manhattan
Go back to Time Square
Look at big city
Get on TV
Go see big Christmas Tree
Sleep on train
Drive
Sleep
Drive
Tell Stories

Thats the plan. To do the trip I never knew to dream about when I got out of college. Backpack through Europe, tourist our way through the rest of the world.
