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

Oh Memphis, I will always love you. In all honesty I didn’t do a damn thing in Memphis except stroll Beale again. There was another museum that I wanted to check out, but the heat, the exhaustion of two weeks on the road, etc etc and I was happy to visit the familiar shops and

Today was long and exhausting, but overall a pretty decent day. We hit the road at 7:30 with plans to hit the Wyoming Dinosaur Museum as well as the Hot Springs County Museum (both in Thermopolis, WY) before hauling ass to Pueblo, Colorado. ‘Thermop’ (as it was posted on several signs) is 85 miles from

Ah yes, it’s finally that time of year again. Time to hit the road, time to move with the wind (though preferably not tornado type wind)… whatever you’d like to call it. Time to dust off the gps, the state maps, and settle into some long drives across the country. Time to turn up the

I’ve been fighting the stagnate-blues for the past few months. In fact, it wasn’t until recently when a fellowship within the subject of humanities was brought to my attention, that I saw a way out. The fellowship itself is a long-shot. I don’t know how many people apply to these things – people more experienced

I thought I would come here and blog daily about my ten day… whatever it is… cleanse? detox? But that proved difficult. Not because I didn’t have time, but because every single thought I had during the day was consumed with food. What can I have, what can’t I have. Have I had a lot

I’ve debated back and forth on posting about this or not. I’ve always been quiet about my weight issues (because hey, I’m funny, pay attention to that, not what I look like), but maybe putting things down in writing, where a.) others can see that I’ve not just got my head stuck in the sand,

I let me inner child out for an evening last night. Growing up I listened to a lot of country music. A favorite of mine (around age 8) was Clint Black. He was my first real celebrity crush. Unfortunately, every time he toured here, it was always in casinos where you had to be 18/21

There are several things in the news today that really get me going. Women’s rights, healthcare, LGBT rights, immigration, etc. But something a little less talked about has been put on my plate as of my last road trip so I’ve been doing a little research and the facts are disheartening. While on the road,

It’s funny…. everyone that’s lived in/around Memphis always asks what I love about the city so much and I can’t describe it. I’m sure it’s different when you live here (my crankypants would be out of control if I had to deal with this heat all summer – and it’s only the beginning of bloody
And then I thought...
