What is Wanderings and Musings?
Wanderings and Musings is my spot on the web to write about the adventures I have in life while traveling, exploring or even sitting quietly contemplating life. We all have a voice and opinions to share about our journey on this lonely planet, and it’s time to put mine out there for all to see.

About the Author
Name: Jeff Hemry
Occupation: Software Engineer, Web Developer
Favorite pastime: I’ll give you one guess… it’s in the top right corner of this page. My second favorite would be traveling and exploring new places, food, people, and cultures.
What kind of bike is that?: It’s called a Hayabusa or Suzuki GXS-R 1300 and is “oh shit” fast. I say that because my very first ride on it, right off the showroom floor, I was going gingerly for a few miles, then as I got onto the freeway I decided to goose it up a bit to see what kind of beast I was riding… and when I shot from about 20mph to 80mph in like 2 seconds, I distinctly remember hearing myself say “oh shit!!”
Where have I traveled to:
- Mexico - A few times in college
