From the outside, it looks easy to explain. Rain. Trees. Coffee. A few volcanoes. People in fleece jackets who pretend they are not staring at the mountains even though they absolutely are. But that version of Washington leaves out nearly everything that matters. This is a history of a place built on contradiction. Rain forests and deserts. Ports and wheat fields.

Forget 23andMe and Ancestry.com! I list 10 very Scottish characteristics and traits. If you display a number of these, there is a good chance you have Scottish blood coursing through your veins. You are a member of a very special group — the diaspora — and the proud few that can claim Scotland, “the greatest wee country in the world,” as your ancestral home. According to statistics, the number of Americans of Scottish descent today is estimated to be 20 to 25 million (up to 8.3% of the total U.S. population). That’s equivalent to the population of Florida. That’s a fair-sized tartan army.

About Life Choices and Potholes is a rollercoaster ride through the misadventures of reinvention, career pivots, family chaos, and the existential crises that come with it all. One moment, I was a software engineer navigating corporate rejection emails, the next, I was plotting how to sell holistic herbs on Amazon.
