Setting an outlandish goal and then achieving it, is not all that's it's cracked up to be.It's done all the time.Whether it's stuffing seventeen people in a VW Beetle or walking on the Moon, the real story is the process. Flying an airplane upside down over the Magnetic North Pole, just to see what the compass does in that configuration, is no exception.It took Pat Epps and Richard Taylor, three annual attempts to achieve this goal. But, in the end, they did Roll the Pole.Engine problems thwarted the first attempt and horrific Arctic weather killed the second. But perseverance prevailed in the third.This Arctic journey quickly morphed into an eleven-year adventure in search of The Lost Squadron, the six P-38s and two B-17s lost on the Greenland icecap in 1942. And thus did Glacier Girl emerge.

This journal records a make-it-up-as-you-go-along trip to Europe in the spring of 2017. From a "tramp steamer" crossing of the Mediterranean to a pickpocket heist in Naples, adventure abounds. Hotel reservations were made for the first night only. After that, Europe was our oyster.From the engineering triumph of Gustave Eiffel to the organic design interpretation of Antoni Gaudi to the limitless genius of Michelangelo, artistic virtuosi still sets the tone of enlightenment in Europe.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the famed French author of The Little Prince is oft quoted - "All men dream, but not equally.""Not equally" doesn't mean that one person's dream is superior to another's. It simply suggests that we all dream within the boundaries of our individual intellect and appetites.In some geopolitical societies, deviation from the norm is scorned upon. In others it is lauded. Where do you lie on this issue?15 of the 16 offers the reader the opportunity to be your own unbiased judge, i.e., to either scorn or laud a handful of unusual circumstances as you see fit.Consequently, if this book reveals to you a little bit more about where you lie in life's challenging game of "dealer's choice," then it will satisfy a little something extra in each your and my individual ambitions.
