In conjunction with Dave's 2010 Bum Tour, The Time is Now Tour seeks participant hosts to become part of a documented "trail of accomplishments." Invite Dave to visit, and then it's time to take action! As you--and possibly your spouse, significant other, family member, or friend--set about your undertaking, I'll join along as either an observer or participant. All experiences will be captured in writing and collected for future publication. Some experiences will be captured in pictures and/or video, also for possible publication.

You've got something you've been wanting to do or try, right? Maybe it's something grand like bungee jumping, sky diving, or white water rafting. Maybe it's something a little less extreme like visiting a museum or hiking a trail. It's even possible that you've just been wanting to try out a new (or new-to-you) restaurant or cook a new dish at home. However grand the idea, Dave is saying the time is now!

If you would like to be a part of this fantastic trail of accomplishments, just contact me and include your idea and the location.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Dave's "The Time is Now" Tour will not be providing any funding toward your endeavor, but Dave will pay his own way as a participant wherever applicable. Hosting expectations are outlined in Dave's 2010 Bum Tour "note" on Facebook, or contact Dave directly for details.

Following the Tour

As dates and locations are added to the tour, they will be posted to this calendar. Blog posts will periodically chronicle tour stops and adventures. Go to August 2010 to see the current schedule.

Exhausted

This has become one of the most exhausting moves ever...and I move frequently. This is my 3rd move in 3 years, and my 8th move in 15 years. Seriously, I'm beat.

In all honesty, I would probably be dead or crying in a corner somewhere if I did not have such amazing friends. I just can't do it alone, and some year I will remember that fact in advance.

Everything is coming together. The apartment is 99% empty, I'll run a few more things to storage in the morning, deliver items to Goodwill, pack my road trip items in the car, and get the place cleaned before the carpet cleaners arrive (hopefully). Then it's off to my parents for the weekend.

Still no laptop--I hope it's ready on Monday when I come back into the vicinity. In the meantime, I may not have any updates (but my parents do have multiple computers, so we'll see).

The phone interview with MIT went as well as can be expected. Everything else yesterday did not go as expected: Budget transferred my truck reservation to a dealer 27 miles away without telling me, I lost a few hours of daylight packing, it felt like about 120 degrees with 90% humidity while packing the truck, the truck was just barely large enough, and the storage unit was just barely large enough (pictures forthcoming). Plus, I had to pull in a friend to unload the truck at 7am this morning in order to get the truck back on time (ran out of time last night). Oh, and it rained, but that did not really mess anything up.

All that being said, it still could have been worse...much worse. It would have been much worse without friends to help. Thanks, friends!

I took a break today and played a round of golf (perhaps my last free round on my student membership--time will tell). I also had two good meals today.

For any hosts on the tour, my books are printed and I'm looking forward to sharing copies with you all. Until then, I need to finish in Bowling Green and get on the road. Cheers!
