Challenges

A good friend suggested I ask each of you to give me a challenge... something that will push me to step out of my comfort zone and try something different. I laughed when he said it, because my first thought was "oh God, you don't know my friends.... I don't want to sell my body in the Red Light District!" I've decided it's an excellent idea, and I hope that each of you will take a few minutes to think of something that you wish for me to do. If it's not PG, don't post it... send it to me in an email instead :) All challenges welcome.

Hoping that technology is my friend....

So my story begins here, sitting in my living room frantically trying to get my life organized enough to leave it for 2 months.  If you know me (which you probably do if you're bothering to read this), you know that the idea of getting my life organized is a bit of a joke.  Nonetheless, it's off I go to Europe, ready or not, for two purposes:
1.  To see Sustainability first hand through the shadowing of individuals whose professional mission focuses on the difficult task of being "sustainable", and
2.  To have a hell of a good time.

I leave Aug 23rd, and return home what feels like a lifetime from now.  I hope this blog allows me to share some thoughts, impressions, stories, and (knowing me), deeply embarrassing moments with those people that I know and love... everyone from family and friends to colleagues and supporters.  I don't doubt that you all will learn a lot more about me, whether you want to or not, (as will I!), and I promise to try not to have any TMI (too much information) posts.  I sincerely hope you all will keep me company on my trip by blogging back, sharing a laugh or a tidbit from home. 

All the best,
T-minus 25 days 'till departure
