About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

movin' and a shakin'
round and round and round I go
where I'll stop
nobody knows! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Wherever you are -- if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time."
-Joseph Cambell

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Orca, incorrectly named Killer Whale due to a mix up in translation, is in fact a whale killer.
And?
Check this...
Upon returning from a tour to see Puerto Pirámides and the stunning southern right whales that pass their time in the area, our boat stumbled into quite a show. Who am I kidding...it was the craziest thing I've ever been fortunate enough to see.
Picture this: a mini pod of 5 orcas, 2 adults and 3 babies. 3 southern right whales, 2 adults and 1 baby. Adult orca ATTACKING big ol' mama whale. Leaping out of water, headbutting whale on the back, and then swimming off under our boat. We interpreted the situation as a teachable moment for the orca babies. "Look kids, this is how you attack a big ass whale. Got it? Excellent!"
SERIOUSLY? Freakin' mind blowing. Thank you Península Valdés in Argentina. Gracias.

Also, just about any bug that I cross paths with leaves me pretty awestruck. Harley Davidson bug, I kid you not. I'll show you the picture :)
