The Edge [of all] Journeys

I know things have been a bit quiet around here… and as you might guess – that’s because life has been everything but. Here are some of the highlights from the last couple weeks (not necessarily in chronological order):

• I smoked my first bona fide Cuban cigar and sipped superb home-made wine while hanging out with good friends after a delectable BBQ in their back yard one perfect weekend evening
• Renee and the kids loaned me out for a couple weeks to the Race Project (more on that in a bit)
• We enjoyed a few evenings that were finally warm enough to sit around the camp fire
• There was the epic shopping trip that started out as a Zach / daddy date but turned into the other kids (except Joy) coming along because Zach is such a generous guy he invited them too (he misses them when he does stuff by himself)… of course upon arrival at the store I discovered that my wallet had schemed against me and left itself back at the trailer… and the store doesn’t take checks… but thankfully I was able to scrounge some U.S. cash from my grab & go pack, which they were more than happy to take… trust me, even a horrible exchange rate loss is worth avoiding a full-reset and start-over on a shopping trip with 4 kids.
• We met grandpa at The Forks and invaded the wonderful children’s museum there, wrapping up with peanuts, gyros, and tips to the buskers (street musicians)
• And, among other things, we hoisted the anchors and unfurled the sails and relocated the trailer to be in position for the Race Project.
