OT -- A blog you might want to check out

Those of you who ever read the NMLR forums may be familiar with Michael Hodson, an Arkansas lawyer and Ranger fan (not to be confused with Brian P. Hayes, also an Arkansas lawyer and Ranger fan).
Hodson has recently decided to...well, I'll just quote the heading of his blog:
Starting December 15, 2008, I'm taking a year off to travel around the world, with two rules: no planes and no reservations. The planned route is due south from Arkansas, through Central America and the west side of South America. Over to Argentina, boat to South Africa, and up the east side of Africa. Though the Middle East, boat to SE Asia, then Australia, New Zealand and the three week boat ride home. Come join me on my trip -- and tell your friends.
Mike is writing about it as he goes, with regular updates at http://mobilelawyer.blogspot.com. Some interesting stuff, and I figured folks here might be interested in checking it out.

Hurler and brett, the dynamic duo.
And we all know that no one reads travelogues. No one.

I've been reading it
Need to go check again, the last entry got him as far as Dallas (of course, that’s the hub of the civilized world as we know it!). It should get truly interesting as Mike hits East Africa.

I’m probably way out of line by bringing this up. And you did email and I didn’t get back with you. But, can i get a rain check on that lunch or dinner. I feel bad we never hooked up on that, You know what I’m talking about? I do apologize. Can i get a rain check on that deal i won?
I'll even pick you up in my new hummer
and we can go out for dinner or lunch. I’m just out of town alot and travel. It’s sometimes hard for me to get togather. Not sure if you know, I bought a new hummer this year.

Sure. Do email though.
My schedule is usually wide open, but I’ve got FLL and DC coming up (yes the website is back on line and I’m asked to mouthpiece for the SBEA again in Jan and Feb. No special arrangements or pickup needed, just let me know your whereabouts and when.

Not yet
It’s been inactive nearly five years, and not incubating new business. Maybe in a year.

I’ll stay posted if I don’t get lost on my own Hodsonian adventures within the next year.
Who knows, could be with brett and justin levy up at Tech in a year.

WTF "This made me laugh" fanshot
Damn Adam, Why in the heck would you make the comments for This Post Are Closed
Norm should ask him
with Laird gone, how in the hell does he think he’s going to fill in for all those innings Laird had and does he think himself and Salty can handle this. I want to know because I didn’t like the the fact we got rid of Laird our most experinced catcher
Damn... well after some time
and after the break Taylor Teagarden will be up. maybe we need a new post or something for the TT interview
As someone who very recently endured a near travel nightmare
I find this kind of interesting.

Also OT:
nikpin is killing in the College Football Pick’em league. 31 LSBers signed up (26 filled out their picks). I’m currently in 2nd, but that’s about to change – apparently CMU is not worth putting 22 confidence points on.
thanks if you joined.

many thanks
sitting here in a cheap hostel in Antigua, Guatamala, after my third 10+ hour bus ride in less than two weeks and unexpected run into this shout-out from Lone Star Baseball. Totally unexpected and appreciated.
thanks everyone. Feel free to hop by and post comments also — I think I have the blog set to take comments from anyone. I’ll be trying to post every couple of days or so (until I take the 15+ day boat rides and am totally out of touch).
thanks
i don't know you
but i hate you out of envy.
