NEW! (April, 2022)If Not for Good Luck... I'd Have no Luck at All; The Story of an Undying ManFor (only) 24 hours this March, I left the world in which I had always lived, and shared emotions with courageous people cruelly chosen to host cancers. Yes, I was there only briefly, but the period was a priceless opportunity for me to study life, my life, and life after death.
Humans all behave in different ways and react to impending doom differently. This is how I reacted. I’m not saying it’s the best way, or even a good way, but it worked for me. 3,500 words / 10-15 minute read |

During my 10-week boat trip from Miami, up the Intracoastal Waterway and the Hudson River to Canada, I really wanted to share the exciting adventure with my readers, but I am loathe to write a "travel blog." So, I told stories. Ripping-off John Steinbeck's "Travels with Charlie," (the title, anyway,) I set off on a fictional adventure that may even be more interesting than real life! See for yourself, in seven tales as I discover a cute, but cunning stowaway, our boat breaks anchor in a storm, we rescue another boater, take over a drawbridge, and other tales.

Remember that time before the Third Millennium?
Mark Gilchrist documented life in rural America in the late-1990s during a 19-month motorcycle tour of all 50 United States, writing articles about everyday people and creating one of the first travel blogs in Internet history. Two decades later, you can still read all 126 articles and the blog. |
