What
in the world now?
By Scott Stoll
Date: July 19, 2005
I'm in a little place called Waukesha, Wisconsin writing
my book, getting fat and sassy and experiencing major culture shock
and bicycle blues. This is a real phenomenon, like post-partum depression.
I plan to return to San Francisco in a few weeks. I hope to cure
my itchy feet by taking a mini road trip back to the West Coast
with a Canadian friend. Over a one-month period, we will drive to
the hot spots like Yellowstone, Glacier N.P., the Badlands, etc.,
and get the bikes out for a ride. I figure this is the way to do
a bike tour -- skip all those ugly and boring spots.
I also plan to restart my career as a graphic designer, that is,
until my book hits the bestseller list and I can be paid do it all
over again. Also, I will be helping my friend start a non-profit
organization to send volunteers to Thailand to help teach blind
children, build temples, aid the tsunami victims, work on a pineapple
farm, etc. I loved Thailand, so this will be a great experience
for people who haven't seen much of the world. Ironically, the Thai
people are so wonderful; they should really be coming to America
to volunteer their smiles.
After I woke up at noon, had my coffee and realized
my shirt was inside out and that it didn't really matter, I decided
to update the website. I have a new appreciation for how much effort
Carrie made keeping the site updated for three years. I posted some
photos of New Zealand. That only took me 1.5 hours, so I am proud
of myself. I am getting the hang of this computer thing. I had one
job interview so far and one of the first questions asked was, "When
was the last time you used a computer?"
" Um... Does email count?"
Well, I'd better get on with organizing my new life. I think I will
start by turning my shirt right-side out.
