I've been blogging since 1998, most recently at gooutsidetoday.com where sometimes the domain name is advice for others and often a reminder for me. I enjoy doing new things and started #52Adventures, a project where I did something new every week. It went on hiatus for the pandemic but will be restarting soon. I love cycling (I haven't owned a car since 2004), running, cooking and writing. I've also been studying Hindi for almost a decade and enjoy chatting and writing in that language as well.
