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.

Alive and well

I'm alive and well in NY tonight. This will *not* be the night to catch up on the blog--sorry. I need sleep. I will say that today was both exciting and draining. I visited Gettysburg, PA, a stop that only recently hit my itinerary. It was truly an overwhelming experience, and I'm pretty sure I'll need some "digestion" time before I can write about it.

I will comment now, however, that it is very weird knowing that my most recent travels have taken me through all of the confederate states. It was even more strange touring Richmond, the capitol of the Confederacy, on Thursday and then touring Gettysburg today as I exited that region. For some readers, this may not seem like a big deal considering that it has been nearly 150 years since the Civil War ended; for me, however, I feel a significance even if I cannot yet quite explain it. I suppose the exposure and learning is even more challenging since I've spent much of my life ignoring--even avoiding--Civil War history.

Off to bed. I will return to the accounts of Florida soon, as well as Richmond, West Virginia, Gettysburg, and points yet to come.
