While I can't pull photo favorites from too far back and every post has plenty, I'll provide a handful of random ones along with the wearable, walkable Scarlett Chase red heels because they will always have a little Oz like quality to them as a result of the timing of their release while we were so far from home, no matter what the future holds. Some of you might also find the airplane wing interesting as I did, as its the exact font as used in The Road to AUM, the second edition of which was released days before we headed out on the MWT.
Our second half begins with a London stop and then on to Bombay right before MLK day. Stay tuned...
