Prologue

A little about me. I am Joseph Ryan Allen, 25 years old, with a wife, dog, and a mortgage. I live the kind of life that most people only dream about. The following is a telling of my life and adventures from this point forward. I fully intend to provide frequent updates...not for anyone in particular, but simply to chronicle my daily adventures, and to assist myself in being truly grateful for all that I have and am able to do. Should any poor soul happen upon these ramblings, I hope you are inspired by the beauty of the places I visit, and are moved to get out and "do."
