Big week ahead: Crow Fair starts, and we'll be streaming it live. If you're not familiar, Crow Fair is known as the Tipi Capital of the...

Reader This week, I’m traveling with my family, and this trip feels extra special. It’s the first time in about a year that all three of us have been able to travel together.

That brings me to one of the best pieces of travel advice I can give you: don’t wait for the perfect time. Don’t wait until everything slows down. Don’t wait until the kids are older, work is less busy, or...

Reader - I'm writing this from the passenger seat somewhere on I-95, with Kelli behind the wheel and about 4,000 miles of jet lag catching up with me.

I still snuck in a little work here and there, but mostly we just enjoyed being present for a milestone 30 years in the making. Now the overwhelm of everything waiting for me is starting to creep in. Ready to be home, ready...
