If you followed our travels here in 2011, you may be interested to know that we’re starting to travel again. Starting September 7, we’re leaving Denver and setting out on a trip through the eastern US for three months. You can read more about that on my blog article right here.

our Fall 2012 travel plans
Prologue As you may have read in my post “where do we go from here?” Beth has finished her cancer treatment, and the lease on our apartment in Denver runs out September 6, 2012. We originally intended to find a place to hole up for the next six months or so, do some day trips,… Continue reading our Fall 2012 travel plans
roller derby documentaries and how Derbyverse came to be
A roller derby photographer from Toronto asked me to write a review of a film called “Derby, Baby!” But what came out was an article about roller derby documentaries in general, why a lot of filmmakers are wasting their time making docs that won’t earn any money, and where my online interview show Derbyverse came… Continue reading roller derby documentaries and how Derbyverse came to be
where do we go from here?
Here is an open letter we sent to family and friends around the country via email. I think it speaks for itself. If you didn’t get an email from us but still have a suggestion for where we should move in September, please let me know!
I think Dotster.com has jumped the shark
Open letter from Todd Bradley to Dotster.com, submitted by their customer support ticket tracking system (since I couldn’t find any other way to send them feedback): —- Hi, while I was at work today, I got an email from my wife.

Todd’s recollections of Arcata
I meant to write this article shortly after we left Arcata, back in November 2011. But life soon thereafter threw me several curveballs, and I’m just now getting back to it. I wrote very little here on “12 Cities, 1 Year” about Arcata, which was the 4th city of our trip. We were there for… Continue reading Todd’s recollections of Arcata
how to avoid falling back
This post is sort of the flip side of the one I posted yesterday, titled Todd’s December doldrums. That article was about my sadness thinking maybe we’ve come full circle, and now are right back where we started before we started the “12 Cities, 1 Year” project. But the fact is that we aren’t the same… Continue reading how to avoid falling back
Todd's December doldrums
The things I think about when I’m feeling sorry for myself It wasn’t supposed to be like this. We planned to spend another eight months traveling around America, living in another eight new and interesting cities. And then we might settle down into one of them. But here we are back in Denver, with our… Continue reading Todd's December doldrums
I’m now a citable expert in roller derby
This year was the first ever Roller Derby World Cup. It wasn’t put on by any official organization, just a roller derby magazine. They chose to hold the event in Toronto. When I learned about it early in 2011, I decided I could probably afford to go to either Rollercon or the World Cup to… Continue reading I’m now a citable expert in roller derby
12 Cities, 1 Year is going on hold
Hello, faithful readers. I’ve got some serious and bad news to share. While in Denver last week, Beth had some medical tests on a strange lump that’s appeared in her armpit over the past couple months. We learned on Monday that she has cancer. So, we are immediately returning to Denver, so she can have… Continue reading 12 Cities, 1 Year is going on hold
