A few months ago, one of my Facebook friends turned me on to a short film contest that was right up my alley. It was the Real Food Media Contest, and they had a contest to make a short documentary on one of a set of topics related to food and farming. So I took… Continue reading a new film by Todd Bradley

on the road again
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.
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
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
living arrangements
We’re currently in Arcata, California, which is the 4th city of our 12 Cities, 1 Year trek. One of the amazing things — other than the fact that Beth hasn’t gotten so sick of me as to resort to violence — is that we’re now in our 4th different type of living arrangement. In Missoula,… Continue reading living arrangements
from Portland to Arcata
I’ve been remiss about sharing our journeys with you, fair reader. So let me try to catch you up to date. We left Portland the morning of Wednesday October 12. That morning we packed the car, did some final housecleaning of our basement apartment, got our deposit check from the landlord, ate lunch, and then… Continue reading from Portland to Arcata
updates from Portland and Arcata
I just made some updates to the website. The Portland page now has a list of most of the memorable things we did while we were there. You should go check it out. We didn’t write about some of them. I also updated the Itinerary page to show that Eureka got replaced by Arcata as… Continue reading updates from Portland and Arcata
Portland, City of Poop
Lots of people love dogs, right? And who can blame them. I’d own a dog if I could. Owning a dog in the city comes with extra responsibilities above owning a dog in the suburbs, I’ve noticed. In Broomfield, some of our neighbors had dogs, but everyone had their own yard. So the dogs generally… Continue reading Portland, City of Poop
