Wander & Ponder
With Bill & Friends
Welcome
Hello and welcome to the world of wandering and pondering. After almost 37 years with IBM, I retired in March 2022. That left me with the questions. Who would I be? What would be my new identity? Wander and Ponder is a YouTube Channel, Website, and Instagram feed designed to share my journey, encourage kindness, make us think, and bring a smile to your face. You're invited to come along for the ride.
Expect to see:
Exploring various parks and trails.
Me thinking out loud either about things I've learned of life in the past, or things I'm learning now.
Kayaking and Biking
Connecting with old friends and making new friends.
I'm not sure where the journey will take me, but I'm glad you're coming along with me, even if just virtually!
The YouTube Channel Adventures
The idea started with doing a YouTube Channel, but I decided to add this website to complement the videos with other information. On various pages here, you'll find links to relevant web pages. You'll see links and references to different episodes.
There are a ton of resources out there on where to walk, hike, bike, and kayak. But I've collected my favorites here as a work in progress. I have a few 'regular' haunts and then some that are out of the way that I've added. Some locations are good for multiple activities and I'll try to point that out.
The things I ponder about come from all over the place, but in this section, I'll try to include a few references to things that either I pulled together or things that prompt me to think about new things. I'll update this section as I discover new items. Feel free to make suggestions.
While I'm a rather solitary person, sometimes an adventure is more fun with a friend. And there are definitely times when you find friends along the way. So look for information on my friends. Some friends are four-legged or with wings. And feel free to reach out if you'd like to wander or ponder with me.
I will try to document some of the resources I use, not that I'm an expert in any of them. But I can share what I've learned.
