2012. My name is Drew, wife Alibot and daughter Bingo. Alibot and I are in our thirties and are what I would consider late bloomers. We\u2019re going through an important time in our lives, that transition between the end of college and the start of career, mortgage, and children; really the invention of the mid part of our lives.<\/p>\n

Wife and I have come up with a few ideas that we\u2019re going to try out. While I think some of it may be general anger and creativity, it\u2019s impossible to separate our ideas and feelings from our environment.<\/p>\n

\"graphics-fireworks-091422\"<\/a>I was born in the late 70s. My Mom worked in the technology sector so our family saw a pretty big arc of computing power. We had every modem from the 2400 baud to the 56.6k. I spent time on bulletin board services (bbs\u2019s) and AOL when you would get slammed for minutes over your monthly allotment. As a kid, I remember sitting in front of our computer watching the fireworks screen saver with my whole family. It was our first color monitor. I always had an interest in video games, which spilled over into the internet. I didn\u2019t go bonkers over it: I\u2019m no computer programmer, or web-developer. I do have a history in technology.<\/p>\n

Alibot\u00a0and I have some ideas that I think are interesting and worth sharing. Over the next five years, we\u2019ll be trying all kinds of new things. Both she and I like to get inputs from blogs all over the internet, radio shows, TV \u2013 you name it.<\/p>\n

Plan Echo – year ago I had made a plan to graduate from college. It was plan Alpha. Bravo was to work in the maritime industry working my way up through the ranks on tallships and tug boats. Then I lost track of my plans. Now Alibot\u00a0and I are planning on living ecologically sustainable lives, and I figured I’d call it Echo.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this blog is to share our ideas, and document our successes, failures, and insights into this transitional part of our lives.<\/p>\n

2017. So much for plan echo. We bought a house in Port Angeles, and it was a total bust! Luckily we didn’t lose our shirts in the process. After a few years of renting again, and me moving companies a few times, we’ve purchased a home in Tacoma. Bingo is three years old. I’m a Jr Captain at a tugboat company in nearby Seattle.<\/span><\/p>\n
