“The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.” – Theodore Roosevelt My wife and I are planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is one of those funny places for me. I’ve always wanted to go but never have. Since she has been there, she […]
“Spare the Duct Tape, Spoil the Job” – Red Green As a teacher, I do a great variety of tasks every day and every year. Planning events, maintaining communication with vested parties, teaching, grading, and supervising. Occasionally, I get to participate in school events that are designed for the enjoyment of all. Recently, we celebrated […]
“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.” –– Earl Nightingale My students ask me questions all of the time. Some of them are educationally related and some are completely random (i.e. “What is the biggest tomato ever grown?”). Recently, I had a student ask me where […]
This past summer, I traveled the US in search of the story of teardrop trailers. The goal: make a documentary film about teardrop trailers that can be used in high school classrooms & viewed by enthusiasts (support and read more about the film here). As part of this project, I asked a student at WWU, […]
With the help of Larry Shank, I have started a new short film project that is about hist family’s adventures with teardrop camping right after WWII. This project grew out of the Overland Film project that is currently in post production (update on this project at the end of this post). As I was working […]
“Christmas … is not an eternal event at all, but a piece of one’s home that one carries in one’s heart.” –Freya Stark Christmas for a teacher, such as myself, is an event that I look forward to as much as my students. It gives time for me to take a break from 12hr+ […]
Mom and Dad do know how to throw a birthday party. The little Assistant to the Senior Manager celebrated her 1 month old birthday on a camping trip in the jPod. Since this family arrangement is new to us, Senior Management and I thought it would be wise to camp someplace near our home-base and […]
I always enjoy a good vintage camping film. This is a rare one: A vintage 1958 film of a custom Station Wagon. This station wagon has similar designs to a teardrop with a rear galley. However, it is much more automated & prehaps not quite as convenient. Yet, a great Michigan state prototype.
I never thought I’d fall in love with a hairy toothless…woman but I have. The jPod camping crew is embarking on its greatest adventure. The Little Assistant to the Senior Management was born in good health and cuter than any baby I’ve ever seen (of course). Once Mom (better known as Senior Management) and I have […]
