I was at dinner with friends recently and, during the course of our mutual catching up, was told that I have the most spectacular stories. We’re all travelers in that group, both for work and for pleasure, so the fact that I seem to have the most unusual experiences of all of us is notable….

Sketchnotes and the Talent that Wasn’t
I Confess I’m Envious For years I’ve been slightly and openly envious of the people in my life who are able to take notes with corresponding illustrations.

WordCamp Fayetteville 2015

Prairie Grove Battlefield Park
We celebrated Memorial Day by visiting a local battlefield. The last time I was there I think I still was a single-digit age and they have made a driving tour since then. We took that driving tour and a ton of pictures while we did it. But not while we were driving. No humans were…
