At a time when the majority of people worry about their jobs and futures, I’m on a road trip to unwind.
I haven’t retired – there’ll be another contract in a few months – but the constant overhead gray that is Seattle needs a blast of blue sky to balance it.
The plan’s vague at its best – simply to travel south to the warmer weather then spend a good deal of time in the National Parks, hiking and cycling. The snow shoes are along for the ride too but I suspect they’ll not see daylight until the car’s unpacked in a few months. In any case, it's time for a new blog...
Those familiar with previous blogs will know that, although inspired by travel, they rarely contain much about it. The material comes from my perspective on circumstances that occur around me and the interactions I have with people.
Any mention of scenic beauty or interesting towns generally appears by chance, if at all, however this one will contain more than just unusual situations. Astounding - a travel-inspired blog actually mentioning travel! I suppose you could describe it as a personal splurge of creativity stimulated by a change in surroundings.
I see humor in the absurd and the irrational. Both are everywhere and humor frequently derives from the negative but how my posts are received is entirely subjective.
So – to explain the title: walkabout is an aboriginal rite of passage involving a journey and survival in the wilderness. Feenix, based on the mythical phoenix, began with my early IT career and has become, over the years, a pseudonym. I think 2013 is self-explanatory.
A gentle warning: no offense is ever intended, however we are all different and some people are more sensitive than others. If you object to political reference, sexist, racist or religious comment, tales of drunken mishap or the use of particular words – you know what to do.
Otherwise, please read on – and feel free to comment…
