I'm not Grace

My real name is not Grace.

During a trip to the redwoods in August of 2008, I realized that to make life easier, I'd pick out a simple name to prevent situations like, "What's your name again?", "Pardon?" "How do you spell that?"

What started out as an idea to travel efficiently led to a lot of guest books scattered along the Northern California area being signed Grace. (You try introducing yourself to the owner of the store/attraction center as one name and them watching you sign the book as you contemplate signing a different name!) I'm not ashamed of my name or have any intentions of hiding the "real" me behind another persona. This is me, just the part that makes traveling and experiencing life a little easier.
