I'm wrapping up two solid weeks, actually 15 days of camping... entirely alone. And I know it's not something that everyone could do at this moment of your life here and now... with whatever demands and resource restrictions you are under.

And some of you may have done this before, so I'm not trying to sound like Mr. Smartypants.

You should just do it. It's so good. I'm tired of it now, but that's kind of good, too.Tomorrow I will roll home and see my family, each of whom I love a little bit more than I did when I left.

Just saying, it's worth it.

Maybe it's not camping for you. Maybe it's you rent some little room in some place for a couple weeks. A hostel in Amsterdam, an Airbnb in the Ozarks. I don't know.  Maybe you just want to go to San Francisco and live as a homeless person for a couple weeks and see what that's like.

Whatever your jam is.

I'm sad it's almost over.

I'm glad to be going home.

Just those two sentences are worth all of it to me.

Hope all of you are well.



I’ve been camping alone at my house for past 7 years ever since my wife and daughter moved out
with no warning. I was in a state of shock for a month. Then I came to realize they did the right thing.
We all get along better now, for better or for worse.
I will admit it’s tough at times missing my daughter’s high school years.
But I have come to accept how I am. And I think our arrangement is best for all parties involved.
I cherish my daughters visits and will do everything to in my bitcoin capacity to see
her academic dreams come true.
