Trials and Tribulations of Travel

6/29/2022

0 Comments

 
For most of my career as a professional organizer with the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) my home base was Oracle, AZ.  There was a big upside to this, personally and vocationally, but severe stresses along the way.
The picture captures some of the upside - working with a cohort of talented co-conspirators over multiple decades.  Not to mention the satisfactions of making a power political impact in multiple states with talented leaders.
But all that came at a cost.  Time away from Kaz, the slings and arrows of continuous work related travel, limited ability to visit far-flung family and friends and a split screen life divided between places like Albuquerque and Oracle. 
Picture
I was logging 30,000 highway miles a year and several times that in the air.  I was fine with it for many years, even energized - but as time passed, the rigors of the lifestyle took a serious toll.
