Our Great Escape

“I want to make my life less ordinary.” – David Miller, AWOL on the Appalachian Trail
“It’s not normal”. This was a statement made to my wife by a skeptical family member while Reim was discussing our plans to sell our house and live in an RV fulltime for a few years (or longer). “It’s not normal”. When Reim told me this my response was “well, that’s the point isn’t it?” We laughed. “Yep”.
How we got here…
“You’re so worked up about work you never play with us or tickle us anymore.” – Ireland McCormick, 2014
I don’t think it’s necessary to rehash the loathing I have for the two years of hell when I decided to get a real job. Ireland’s quote above summarizes it perfectly and was a significant trigger to our quest for a less ordinary life. So, I will move on to why we decided to get the hell out of Dodge (or Houston).
