Read MoreAtlantis: the lost city, or a city lost?

Read MoreI’m thankful that it’s ‘Turkey Day’, I think…
Another Thanksgiving Holiday is upon us here in the US. Put aside the parades, football games, and getting fat in front of the boob tube, and we just might re-discover the roots of this indulgent holiday, and begin to understand that we may need to give thanks in a much, much bigger way for Mother…

OK, so I just forced myself to take a quick break from the last minute chaos of expedition logistics. With less than 24 hours until we take off on the 2010 in TOTO deep project, the realities of what we are undertaking are finally setting in. This is largely a function of wrapping up other…
Read MoreStonehenge | what’s it all about?
Set deep in the countryside of Wiltshire, England lies one of our greatest mysteries – the monument (maybe?) of Stonehenge. The Stonehenge site is most classically defined by the large standing stones set in a circular pattern, but is more expansive including remnants of carved earth, and various artifacts from throughout the site’s history…
Read More9 Steps to Work Less and Do More | a review
Is it really that easy? Frankly yes, once you break down how and where time is so very easily wasted. Stever Robbins’ new book ‘9 Steps to Work Less and Do More’ does exactly that – takes what we should all so very easily be able to manage (our time), and presents us all with…
