On the Way to Adventure: Urban exploration
http://onthewaytoadventure.blogspot.com/2013/11/urban-exploration.html
Wednesday, November 27, 2013. When chatting with Dan at happy hour the other day, our conversation turned, as it often does, to traveling and exploration. He turned me on to this blog. A remarkable collection of photos and stories documenting adventurous people exploring abandoned, private, or otherwise inaccessible historic places around the world. A little googling led first to this Washington Post story. Of photos posted in a forum about an old station and series of trolley tunnels beneath Dupont Circ...

On the Way to Adventure: February 2015
http://onthewaytoadventure.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 6, 2015. Farewell to a friend. Today my favorite corner. And so I turn to the blog I’ve neglected to eulogize the blog I’ve read almost every day since graduating from college in 2007. In fact I can say, without hyperbole, that Andrew Sullivan’s The Dish has been one of the most influential forces shaping how I've come to understand myself and the world around me in the time since. It has, over the years, among many other things:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Bit of Perspective. Life pr...

On the Way to Adventure: Democracy, alive and well
http://onthewaytoadventure.blogspot.com/2012/11/democracy-alive-and-well.html
Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Democracy, alive and well. With less fanfare and significantly fewer tears. On a day when Nate Silver makes dizzyingly positive predictions. My feet are still cold, but I feel great. Like the broad cross section of society present at the polls this morning, I proudly took part in the most important of civic duties. That alone is reason to smile. Labels: General Life Updates. Politics and Current Events. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Bit of Perspective.

Life in the Nation's Capitol: Why I Work for a Non-Profit, Ctd
http://inthenationscapital.blogspot.com/2011/10/why-i-work-for-non-profit-ctd.html
Life in the Nation's Capitol. Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." — the great gatsby [f. scott fitzgerald]. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Why I Work for a Non-Profit, Ctd. If it wasn't obvious. The "why I work for a non-profit" bit is an effort to differentiate myself from those who work to make as much money for themselves and the companies for which they work as possible. I in no way am presuming to be better. Via: mountains beyond mountains. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Life in the Nation's Capitol. Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." — the great gatsby [f. scott fitzgerald]. Thursday, January 29, 2009. Heart and Liver Failure. So it may appear that I've become obsessed with bacon this week. Trust me, this is nothing new. Bacon in all its glory is incapable of doing anything except making something awesome more awesome or something mediocre excellent. But this. This. Gallup has published a the first of a four-part survey. So I ask you, would you ...

Life in the Nation's Capitol. Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." — the great gatsby [f. scott fitzgerald]. Monday, November 21, 2011. Video can take place on a university campus in the United States of America in 2011. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, we have lost our way. Below, my friend (and UC-Davis alum) and my letters to Chancellor Katehi, sent via her website. Dear Chancellor Katehi,. Dear Chancellor Katehi,.

I absolutely positively want to go to this bar. If the name doesn't sound cool enough it looks so incredibly Texan that it will be the perfect place to scuff up my soon-to-be-purchased cowboy boots.

Life in the Nation's Capitol. Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." — the great gatsby [f. scott fitzgerald]. Monday, March 9, 2009. So I'm getting lazy with my posts, and I'm mooching off what I find amusing elsewhere, but this is an awesome combination of two of my favorite things- science and rap. These guys are two Stanford students who apparently don't need to study a whole lot for their exams, because they had time to do this. See the TierneyLab. Tuesday, March 3, 2009. Anyway...

On the Way to Adventure: A hot air balloon on a tether
http://onthewaytoadventure.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-hot-air-balloon-on-tether.html
Tuesday, February 5, 2013. A hot air balloon on a tether. Last Friday, for the second time in my life (the first being spring break of my senior year of college), I had to scrape snow off of my car before hopping in and heading for the beach. The reason for this wintry trip to Rehoboth: a weekend-long retreat for the Volunteer Corps. Program that I help to coordinate through church. Aside from the chance to spend time with a fun group of people (I learned a new game, called Fishbowl. And got to play Mafia.

On the Way to Adventure: On confusion and inclusion
http://onthewaytoadventure.blogspot.com/2008/12/on-confusion-and-inclusion.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. On confusion and inclusion. I grew up in a spiritual bubble, of sorts. My parents disagree rather drastically about religion, and decided to raise their children in a neutral way. In other words, the topic was never mentioned. I had no learned answer when my six year old friends would ask, “Do you believe in God? One of my friends used to invite me to a free weekly dinner, hosted by the university’s Catholic Student Center. Feeling uneasy in a way that is impossibl...I have ...
