“The Dude Abides Principal” says is that there is this energetic force that has your best interest at heart that you can tap into it any time you want... In The Zone I do have a bit of The Dude in me. I consider myself kinda lazy but when I look in the rear view mirror, I've done a bunch of stuff, so I don't know how that all works out...  On my  recent Panama Canal Crossing I  realized  that. See:  Panama Canal-Speeding Up Life With A Time Lapse Video... Panama Canal-Pacific Side Panama Canal-Caribbean Side 9 Cruises I had To Go On Before I Died Now that the U.S. economy is no longer in full and uber achievement mode and people have  lost faith in AmeriCAN financial and political institutions... Heads Up!   for the ultimate test of cerebral fitness. No one could really get on board with my assertion that laziness is the religion of the 20 th century. Furthermore, cruising is when it finds respectability. It is the new...

Fjord landscape in the summer sun is dramatic (Norway) Rudyard Kipling wrote " Milford Sound   is the eighth wonder of the world.".  National Geographic Traveler Magazine  selected Norway as  The Top Natural Tourist Attraction in the World.  After visiting both,  Norway in 2010 , and New Zealand in 2011 , I didn't need a second chance for 2012 SE Alaska Fjords to make a first impression--It has brought me back  again to a  place I have never been before...   Glacier Bay   and  Tracy Arm Fjord- Inside Passage- Vivid Blues Wings Over Misty Fjords-Flightseeing         Tongass---No Rain, No Rainbow Falls          B.E.S.T.

cOPENhagen-Denmark's the Spot Ed Reif 2.0  The Start Up-seeking out change and new experiences. Sweden and Denmark  were my  port of call for Summers 2009 and 2010, but I   stayed  in Stockholm  for three months in 96; with the usual run of the mill  obstacles, the fatigue, the ambiguity, and even the danger of being too enthusiastic. I learned a lot of Finnish jokes too  like the Finnish man loved his wife so much he almost told her. Serendipity brought me to an  Engelska/ English   bookstore   where I  bought (browsing not allowed like at Barnes and Noble) , the most important "geek" book of the info revolution, Nicholas Negroponte's  Being Digital.   This   treatise on    bits verses atoms, and access and mobility to free  content  was a primer  on how the worlds of interaction, entertainment and information would eventually merge.The paradox of his  book or any boo...

Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying,  I wanna  love you, but I have to go; this is just the way it is . Jag var i Stockholm Sverige 600 dagar sedan. I remember...The Longest Not Hottest Day Of The Year A Bike And A Prayer Welcome to Sweden, with  a reputation for extreme winters, the safest cars on Earth.(see my SAAB story ) and ABBA.  I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to the Swedes than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is...starting with a bike tour. Stockholm has bike paths everywhere :. It's easy to get around the islands that make up the city. As long as I am riding a bike, I know I am the luckiest guy in the world. Amsterdam-In a city of 800,000,  there are 880,000 bicycles,  4x the number of cars Yet, the Swedes can't compete with their brethren across the Straight-Copenhagen's daily cycling masses. If Paris is the City of Lights...

My Attitude Is Still  Getting Me Altitude! The Autobiographical Philosophy is the love of telling your own story! In 1971 Schlitz Beer commercial‘s on my B&W  TV depicted adventurous men diving for gold, sailing the 7 seas.   “Go for the gusto! ... you only go around   once in life”   Note to self: The earth school kills all of its students. Life is like r owing out to sea in a boat that has a hole in the bottom. S uccess without fulfillment is failure..so go for the gusto: Have as    much joy and fun and fulfillment. Yet doing the right thing at the wrong time equals pain- I would recommend that everyone who wanted to travel, do it immediately. Sooner rather than later.   Gather no moss. The  digital convergence and celestial jukeboxes (Cell Phones, TV's, Computer Screens)  are the soundtrack and sound bytes of our lives- But the content is  somebody elses point of view. What is deeply personal is universal yet what  give...
