| Pretty simple really. If I'm not outdoors hiking, bicycling, kiteboarding, downhill skiing, sailing, swimming, or kayaking then you'd most likely find me in front of the stove cooking or reading a book. Of course life does require the bills to be paid so from time to time I don my tool belt and build the occasional house, renovate a bathroom, a kitchen, or build a deck. I figured it was time now to switch things up a little. Why not go and sail around the world? | |
