So here I am, sitting in my bed. In London. Wait, what was that? London? Home? Errrrrrr What?! Yes, I am home.

Good, but … More The Very End
So, summer is officially over. The kids are gone, the place is quiet, and the leaves have starting turning. I am still working at Camp Sloane for the Fall season, cleaning up camp, running some high ropes courses and prepping camp for the winter, but then it’s back to NYC and then home, 10 and … More A New Chapter
So, some of you may remember that time I turned into a crazy person and decided it was a good idea to jump out of a plane at 15,000ft in Taupo, New Zealand back in April.
