We exited the bus and entered the streets in the midst of a parade, but unlike other parades this celebration was staged. Music, headdress, and confetti created a warm, festive scene. No doubt, local residents considered us their guests of honor. Such fanfare might not exist for everyone who enters San Martin Tilcajete, but after an […]

A Look Back for the Space Shuttle’s Last Launch
by Craig Zabransky on July 7, 2011 in Events, Reflection
I watched the next to last shuttle launch on the internet. Amazing. It reminded me how I always wanted to see a launch live. To witness humanity blast to the heavens with my own eyes. And as a child, I didn’t just want to watch. No sir. I wanted to captain a crew. I wanted […]
Happy 4th of July! Fireworks from the Hudson River, NYC
by Craig Zabransky on July 1, 2011 in Events
Happy Birthday America! To aid our celebration, I attached a thirty second video of the fireworks finale from New York last year. The holiday sunset on the Hudson sparkled, but fireworks impressed, especially with this great view on pier 66 in Chelsea. Enjoy. Have a great 4th of July! Stay adventurous, Craig
Writing About the True Danger of ‘Mexico Today’
by Craig Zabransky on June 30, 2011 in Events, Mexico Travel, Reflection
I recall looking out the window and seeing nothing but urban sprawl as far as the eye could see; it was Mexico City. When I first set off on assignment to the city of over twenty million, I wondered why I agreed. Everyone I knew warned me about the dangers lurking in the capital city. […]

by Craig Zabransky on April 7, 2011 in Events, Reflection
As the Master’s Golf tournament is set to start, I am reminded of a post I wrote two years ago. A time, when I just returned from Detroit and watched my team play for a national championship in college basketball. My school Villanova lost, but the experience stayed with me. It was more than just […]
Renting a Car in Mexico and the Road to San Blas
by Craig Zabransky on March 14, 2011 in Destination, Events, Mexico Travel
Many still consider travel to Mexico too adventurous. Or I guess to call a spade a spade, they consider it dangerous. I know I meet them. So when I decided to rent a car and take a solo road trip inside Mexico people thought I was inviting danger. I was beyond “staying adventurous;” I was […]
The 2nd January Anniversary
by Craig Zabransky on January 5, 2011 in Events, Reflection
Today I celebrate two years of freelance, or as I see it, two years of freedom. This January 5th marks two years since my last day employed in the corporate world. When I reflect back on the two years, I smile. And it’s a big smile. So now looking forward just like last year with […]
“Meet, Plan, Go” Pushes Career Breaks a Step Closer to the Tipping Point
by Craig Zabransky on September 28, 2010 in Events
She walked over and asked me, “What type of planning did you do to come back? So, how did you get a job when you returned?” Wow, great question I thought. This was just Meet, Plan, Go (not return). And to be honest, I never really thought about returning. But hey, I did return. And […]
