I Didn't Die Yet, and Other Things to Celebrate

If you've followed this blog from the start, you know that I've slowed the updates down considerably over the past few months. There are a few reasons for this, the most important of which is that I've definitively decided to turn this project and experience into a book. That focus has put the blog somewhat on the back burner, but I am still committed to keeping this blog interesting as well.

The updates on the blog, though written in present tense, take place a couple months ago. I am currently in my hometown of Phoenix, AZ, taking a brief break from the van. Don't worry, I'm still collecting crazy stories for the blog and book, and I'll soon be back in the van and on my way to the East Coast, with an eye on finding a perfect ending for my voyage. In the meantime, I'll try to be a little bit better about updating this blog.

You can expect occasional updates over the next few weeks, followed by a return to regular updating form come September. Then, eventually, there will also be a book out, complete with the definitive answer to the ultimate question.

Well, that's all for now. I just wanted to reassure those whose contact with me is relegated to this blog that I did not die in a fiery van crash and that my organs have not been sold on the black market.

Although if you'd like to start that rumor, you have my permission.
