Dudes, like I am sooooo sorrry man. I have not updated the site is such a long time. It used to be so narly and bitchin that y'all would read this. Now I bet you rarely visit. Bummer.
Huhhhh???
Yes, I've moved to California. (Yes, that really is my new plate!) In the months since I've posted I've driven nearly 10,000 miles and moved a lot of stuff, seen friends, played poker, done some visiting with kin, and all sorts of rad stuff. You'll be getting plenty of updates in the coming week(s)

Send a SHORT message to my cell phone EMAIL Me by clicking on this link This little set of pages will be my primary home for the foreseeable future. It will include updates on my travels and activities. Call it a Blog, call it a journal or diary; whatever it is it's my attempt to keep a record for myself. You'll be able to contribute as well. My JourneyAfter a rough period, I've decided it's time to get away. So I've packed all my belongings in storage and am setting sail. My ultimate goal is to circumnavigate the globe by crewing and assisting on sailboats. My immediate goal is to relax, enjoy myself, see neat things, and meet interesting people. I think my rough plan will be: spend the summer in the North Atlantic, during the fall I'll look for a ride south to the Caribbean where I'll spend the early winter, as spring comes I'll move west to Central America in hopes of finding a ride across the Pacific. Ultimately I'd like to make sure I get to New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. If I can work side trips to places like Viet Nam, Thailand, or the Red Sea I will. After gaining some experience I hope to find a way to round Cape Horn too. If you know of anyone looking for help with their sailing journey please feel free to pass along my name and email. Or, you include their information in the comments section of the Feedback page. Want to see where I am? Check out the Travel Logs. Who am I?I'm Jim Kearns, a 38 year old economist. For the past 10+ years I've been a middle manager in several telecomm firms. My specialty is setting prices. In September of 2002, I was downsized. A rough experience but one that did manage to get me out of a job I should have left earlier. In October, 2002, my marriage of 12 years ended. It was a painful decision but the right one. The time had come for each of us to go out and find what makes us happy. For several years now I've enjoyed sailing. So I thought I'd spend as much time sailing as possible for the next few weeks (?), months (?), years (?). I've sold my house, packed my stuff and headed out to see the world. Where I go will depend on wind and whim. Mom knows, the rest y'all don't need to...!
