Before this latest trip to Memphis, I had never tried friend green tomatoes. Funny enough, the first place I tried them was a Canadian bar/restaurant called The Kooky Canuck. Not exactly your soul food restaurant. Unless you’re Canadian and poutine is your comfort food. 😉 I was at the Redmond market yesterday and surprise one

Oh man… For as much as I bitch and moan about the ridiculous heat, high humidity and sketchy liquor stores down dirty side streets because you can’t buy wine at a grocery store – I really love this place. I know I mostly get the ‘tourist’ view of life in Memphis. While poverty is a

(looking for the tornado post? click here) (looking for the OKC Energy FC post? click here) Ah yes, the main reason for my year trek to Oklahoma… It’s funny, because the newness and excitement of ohmygodmarkharmon has worn off, but the trip seems to be getting better and better. I (of course) missed road tripping

I fell down the last three steps into the basement yesterday. (see above ^^) I’ve been sick the past few days, but finally managed to collect myself enough to help out around the house – pfft, that’s what I get for trying to help. I was carrying some dead flowers down to take them to

I thought I’d post a few stats from my time on the road. Total miles driven: 6,988.

I had two very long drives to take me from Louisville, KY to Medora, ND. I spent a night in Eau Claire, WI, but with a ten hour drive on either side, I didn’t do much but grab a bite to eat, pour a glass of wine and curl into one of the more comfortable

On Friday I packed up, said goodbye to my favorite hotel staff, and headed out on Union Ave and hopped on I-40 toward Nashville. I skirted around the city and toured Andrew Jackson’s home. It was pretty, and much smaller than I expected. I had to dodge a bit of rain, but it was nice

Wow, what an experience. We rolled into New Orleans around 11pm after a slow start in OKC. The drive was long, but the weather was perfect after all the Tornado drama. We pulled into the parking garage beside our hotel (located in an awesome part of the French Quarter on St. Ann. Opening the door

Yes. The reason for the trip. I’m really not sure what it is, but there is something about him/the show. Maybe it’s because he’s so very much like Gibbs in real life and I love how strong of a character it is (and that he has flaws – he’s no hero). Maybe I love the

I will do a longer blog about the MH event, but it’s late and I’m exhausted from driving Oklahoma City to New Orleans today. But before we left Oklahoma, we took some time to drive through Moore, OK. All I can say, is that I’m speechless. Cait and I drove around for maybe 15-20 minutes
