    Straight from our cranium glove box, to yours 

    I’m fortunate to have a Rebecca-neighbor.  Not many people are so fortunate.  Not only is Rebecca the neighbor to borrow from, cry to, embarrass yourself before, but, BUT, she’s also an adventure chaser!  What are the odds!?!  So, with unlikely odds in our favor Rebecca and I collectively assembled the following list of future adventures and chances.  Join us in all and any.

    (In no particular order and with no particular preference)

      BTW – I wanna sing in the subway too. You’ll have to be completely in charge of the guitar though.

      Ok, I don’t have a list yet, but I already have one adventureompleted!!
      I’m fostering the ugliest-cutest dog (yes the do exist) on the face of the earth.
      So far, he has crapped on the floor, chewed up a blanket, and molested my cat.
      I’m thinking about keeping him 🙂

      You’re Cali adventure could be being an extra in a move if you don’t get the chance in Boston. Otherwise save it up and we’ll do one together that week. BTW- one of mine is to visit 5 US cities I’ve never been to. That includes Boston, so we’ll have an East Coast adventure that week.

    This just in: I’ve set up a link on this page for Flickr. As well as on Twitter.  The silly twitter name is 52Adventures, as is the Flickr username.  Once the year starts I’ll create a flickr account where we can upload our adventure shots!

      I LOVE these adventures.
      They are just the right mix of sweet and spicy.
