Wilaker: Chapter 14 | Almost Dried Out

I have a few days off between Boise and Denver so I explore Shoshone Falls, Craters of the Moon National Park and Bear Lake and I get oh so close to finally drying out. But turns out we're not quite there yet. I would like to add, I will never apologize for using my charm to get out of a bit of trouble and to that State Park Ranger in Bear Lake, it wasn't you, it was me.

Wilaker: Chapter 13 | Pineapple Vinegar and Club Soda

I chose a great time to dry out and Boise carved out a piece of my heart that it'll have forever. Thanks so much to Brad and T and the boys for getting me back on track just by being yourselves. The pendulum is swinging back up (for now).

Wilaker: Chapter 12 | Like A Crow Smoking a Cigarette

As they say it's darkest before the dawn and dawn is upon us. I make my way from Portland to Bend where tragedy strikes once again but the power of people saves me. The next day is the first No Kings march and I'm genuinely concerned whether or not the country will still be standing by the time I get to Boise. Guess we'll have to find out.

Wilaker: Chapter 11 | Alarm Bells

Welcome back to Portland Part Deux. Some of the most important lessons in life feel like absolute hell and it's only after that you can look back and go "Oh. I was growing. Or dying. Well I guess both." And that's what Portland ended up being for me. An incredible comedy scene that I am so thankful welcomed me with open arms because Megan Otto told them too.

Wilaker: Chapter 10 | Death You Are My Bitch Lover

Turns out Portland was too much to fit into one episode. I've finally made it to Portland, Oregon and I'm ready to experience truly one of the best comedy scenes in the country. But it looks like some of that golden retriever trauma is about to catch up with me after being brought up by going for an "aesthetically cool" AirBnB instead of a practical one. Ya live and ya learn huh?
