Disco and I shook our tail feathers yesterday with excitement when our biz cards arrived! Fun fact: they are printed on hemp (see our route outline for when we’re hoping to do a story about hemp farms). The QR code on the back of the card takes you to my Linktree, which features the website…
Tag: Round America with a Duck
Heart land (Updated!)
What’s not to love about that face? Photo from Heartland Farm’s website Like in The Grinch, my heart swells three sizes each day right now. I am truly in heart land. “How will I get there from the Greyhound bus stop?” I ask. “I’ll pick you up,” they say, from the horse sanctuary to the…
Do I bring the hammock?
I’m carrying a small and tightly-curated amount of stuff on my journey Round America with a Duck, and now is the time I’m evaluating each and every thing. (I’ve already pilot-tested a backpack full on a two week stay in a tiny house while WWOOFing on a farm a few months ago.) In the scheme…
Too busy for rejection (updated)
So, bottom line, my “platform” isn’t big enough just yet to lock in a traditional nonfiction book deal (if I even ultimately decide to go in that direction) for Round America with a Duck. The only way to really grow that platform is to ask you to follow me here on the Round America with…
Statistic chat
So I’ve been chatting every day with Chat GPT (that mind-blowing AI bot currently pilot-testing for free) about a wide range of things. This morning, I asked it: What are some environmental statistics since 1963? That’s when I was born, by the way. I’m a 1960s/70s child pedaling my way to age 60 this year (final stop…

So I rode my bike yesterday on the first day of 2023 with Disco and his new little duck friend, on the greenway where I push my mom in a wheelchair every Sunday. I wore another disco suit from Goodwill (see the other one). I left two of my other books at the beautiful Little…

“I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way!”
I remember sitting on the carpet in the living room of the barn-shaped house where I grew up in Mineola, New York watching a character in the classic television show The Little Rascals (on reruns) whip down a hill on a runaway go-cart. “I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way!” he exclaimed, leaning in…
