If we stop following our hearts, we are lost. There is something sacred in the cosmic cycles unfolding around us. They are the constants to the many variables of our lives and the basis for our own biological and social cycles. I’ve always been a New Years guy, love New Years resolutions, and get charged at…
My bro Tyler, and my bra Henry Hypnotic made some moves this December, singing songs and jams from Denver to San Francisco and every which-where between. Music as of late has become inseparable to my travel, adding a new layer of intrepid melodic yum yum to The Road. Most of these recordings were done on…
You and I, we are blessed. We are blessed because I am writing this on a $1,000 laptop and you are reading it on a device likely costing more than what much of the world hopes to earn in a year. We are blessed because when we were young a basic education was a forced…
A few days ago in Denver, my brother and I had dinner with Christina, a childhood friend we had not seen in 23 years. The last time the three of us occupied the same room, Tyler was dirtying diapers and I believed my Baby Katie doll was capable of the rational thought I was not.…
I’m on my laptop, on the Internet in a car named Da Rio for Real. We are passing Hebron, ND, exit 102. Snow spattered fields are rolling by under a big ‘ol blue sky swept clean of clouds. Technology is amazing and I doubt I’ll ever ceased to be awed. Our generation might be the last…
Music says something fundamental about us, a little window not just into who we are, but how we are. Do you smell that? Get closer.Yep. Unmistakable. It’s Christmas and it’s permeating in the air.

It is important to remember that newspapers did not create humanity’s curiosity about the happenings of the world—that curiosity created newspapers. How would Hemingway’s reporting of the Spanish Civil war been different if he had a Youtube and Twitter? “The most useful bit of the media is disappearing,” lamented the Economist seven years ago in…
And what a manly Movember it has been. From time spent traveling around Iceland seeking the best beards, sampling the manliest food on the planet, to Manly buckets lists, one written by a woman, it has been a month that Indiana Jones and Hulk Hogan would surely endorse. To cap it off, and to settle…
Some men may not agree with my bucket list- to them I say “thicken your stache” Movember is almost over. Tomorrow, I shave my facial hair to perfection and enter a competition with Josh Brownlee from Aim To Travel. Today, Travel Write Sing, has officially lost it’s guest blogger virginity. Emjay Meesh Pelchat, who might…
THANK YOU LIFE Today the members of my family who were able to make it home to Bismarck, ND will don the traditional Thanksgiving flannel and hats and sit down to a meal of a Turkey the size of a fourth grader. We are thankful for our flannel, and our hats and turkey, but mostly…
