Bam! Althea quit her job. Jacob (finally) finished school. We sold (and killed) the car. All of our possessions are in a 10x10 box in Berkeley, CA. And the taxman thinks we're Canadians. It is time to BOUNCE. Join us in our adventure. Meet us somewhere in the world. Track our progress on this blog. Send us sage advice. Remember, we MISS YOU!

On Sunday, September 3rd, 2006, on the shores of Convict Lake, CA, at nearly 8,000 feet above sea level and a temperature of 79-degrees farhenheit, but with a cooling mountain breeze in the background, by the graceful words of Mr. Burt Smiley . . . Althea and Jacob got HITCHED!
