Welcome!

Who are we?

We're a middle-aged, newly-wed couple of nouveau-hippies who are trying to plan a path from our current consumeristic, over-processed, electronically-influenced current lifestyle to one that is more meaningful, more sustainable, and less technical.

What does our future hold?

Hopefully a small farm in the foothills somewhere - with a small house off the grid - where we can tend bees & make mead. This is the goal after we've left the corporate world behind and spent a few years travelling the country in an Airstream!

Where do we start?

Here & now! Today we bought our first mead-making rig & are choosing our first recipe to try. We're also focusing on eating healthier (less processing / additives / dining out) & getting in better shape physically, mentally, and spiritually. We're in it for the long haul with lots of plans for the future!

Why blog?

Part of it is to provide a history of our journeys, a record & measure to see how far we've come. Partly it is to provide a sense of accountability, even if it is to an invisible accountant! Mostly it is to share our successes, our failures, and our hard-earned wisdom with other like-minded souls (as well as to share in theirs as well).

Welcome to the trip!
