Innaugural post

Okay, so this picture has nothing at all to do with the thrust of this blog. Well, other than the fact that it was taken while traveling to New Orleans for the first time, and generally having a laugh at myself for being such a techno-geek.

The real thrust of this blog is to talk about adventure (at home, abroad, down the street, or in my mind).

For too many of my years, I have put off travel, fitness, personal goals and various other categories of aspirations that so often are referred to collectively as "living life to the fullest."  I find myself (as many my age apparently do) turning up the volume and adjusting the pitch on my personal life.  Seeking to do the things that scare me and stretch my limits (kayaking in the open sea, sky diving, solo world travel).  Yet, one of the challenges I'm finding is to learn when to step away from the buffet of life and moderate.  Seek balance.

So, as broad as the topic may seem, I plan to write here about my ponderings and experiences while attempting to improve at the game of "living life to the fullest."
