Nobody told me that growing up would mostly involve starting over.
Almost Meaningful: The Art of Ordinary is a collection of stories gathered over five decades of adventure, mistakes, hard lessons, good dogs, great friends, and occasional good fortune.
These stories follow a wandering path through childhood adventures, heartbreak, fatherhood, music, charity work, horses, motorcycles, Mexican fishing villages, mountain towns, dive bars, and the backroads in between.
Along the way, I cycled across America with a border collie, rode a horse across Oregon, traveled thousands of miles on a motorcycle with an American Staffordshire in a sidecar, toured as a singer-songwriter, founded a nonprofit, built tiny houses, buried dogs I wasn't ready to lose, and learned that life rarely unfolds according to plan.
Each story stands on its own. Read together, they become the story of a life fully lived.
