The question "Am I doing enough?" is the fast track toward a very slippery slope. We left the US just before the 2024 election and for me to say "I should be within the US borders" leads to "I should attend a march" leads to "I should volunteer to organize" leads to "I should go back to practicing law" and so on until my life is completely upended. I just don't feel like I have enough years left on this earth to devote the remainder to stanching my former neighbors' self-inflicted wound. I can email Congress. I can donate money. I can write on social media. That has to be enough for now, at least for me.

You’re doing something you always dreamt about doing. If you didn’t start your nomadic lifestyle when you did, would you ever have had the courage and strength to do so?

Your voices are still being heard, and I dare say with more reach than many who live where you left.

There will always be critics who think that they know best how you should live your lives.

But you’re the ones that actually live them. You know and feel the benefits, the opportunities, the challenges, the sacrifices, and the consequences that your choices have.

The critics just see two dudes taking pictures of exotic sunsets and choose to voice their envy.
