A Fork in the Road-Scout

"A fork in the road" is a real trip with no particular destination beyond finding the next diner in a small town for lunch. While there, I'll discover what the town is proudest of, where to go for live music that night, and anyone's secret to enjoying what comes after retirement. I'll spend the rest of the day following that advice, wake up the next morning and, over coffee, blog about the previous day's adventure and the wisdom acquired.

Then, I'll drive no more than 2 hours to the next authentic diner in a new small town by lunchtime and do it all over again. No destinations, no responsibilities, no deadlines and no one who knows me. It took me 60 years to find the courage, time and freedom to do this. You can come along, just don't expect anything predictable, only serendipity.

He Never Saw It Coming..

Lance is back at work. He's been there a week. But he isn't there. He is quiet now.

He went away feeling restless, found peace in his future, returned feeling reinvigorated, but discovered you can never go backwards in life. He must now rebuild his relevance, not by reaching back, but by moving ahead and leaving old responsibilities behind.

That will be a journey worth reporting.
