- Back to School
- On the Road
- I Love Music
Last week Lili started college at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. She was happy as a clam at high tide (or I should say a geoduck to be exact.) That’s the school mascot, voted #1 worst school mascot by MSN Now. But “Greeners” (as students/faculty from Evergreen are called) just laugh the haters off . Before I left Lili at the parent send-off dinner, we were led in a rousing version of the school song:
Go, Geoducks go,
Through the mud and the sand,
let’s go.
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.
Words to live by, for sure. She’ll do just fine.
While my Road School sidekick was back in Boulder, playing his last 2 School of Rock gigs, I decided to head south to a warmer climate and find some sun. I was thinking of naming the van “Sun Chaser” but that implies a lack of sun, so for now, she’s still nameless. Anyone want to send in ideas? We’d love suggestions!
I loved Portland! Such a great town. I enjoyed meeting up with my girl Linda and her husband who have just bought a van and joined the rest of the United States traveling on the road. #midlifevanlife for ever!
The California coast fills my heart with joy and I was blessed with no fog (repeat, no fog) and tons of sun. The state is having a heat wave and we plan to take advantage of that next week.
Picked up my buddy at the airport. We are now free to dive into Road School 2017 without any further scheduled commitments. Yay! Looking forward to getting to the coast and beginning our triathlon training in earnest with swimming, running and biking and always living, loving and learning as we go. Stay tuned and thanks for following along!
