    Quick, because my eyes won’t stay open.

    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

    “Oh shit, there’s running involved!” – Me

    Oh man, these bison are crazy! Traffic slowed to a snails pace as we approached a few bison along side the road. They were walking in a line and suddenly were walking alongside the road. People moved super slow, and the bison didn’t seem to care. That said, several cars started to go around and

    743 miles in 12 hours, 42 minutes.

    Let me just say, we hauled ass. Since we’ve driven this part of the route before, there wasn’t anything we really wanted to stop and see along the way. We decided that getting to the hotel early, having a decent sit-down breakfast and then an evening chillaxing in the hotel would be more our style.

    Whoever is happy will make others happy, too. — Anne Frank

    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

    “The point is to keep trying new things, meeting new people, visiting new places. Once you settle into a rut, no matter how fun that rut may seem, you stagnate. You might as well be dead.” – Lenore Appelhans

    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

    “Put your heart, mind, intellect and soul even to your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.” – Swami Sivananda

    It’s funny how there is always something – something that sparks extra excitement within us. It’s like my heart-rate jumps, I sit up a little taller, I focus a little harder. It almost sounds like I’m in love. And to some extent, I am. The prospect of another road trip. I know there is always

    Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. ~Mark Twain

    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

    “Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you’ve conquered human nature.” – Charles Dickens

    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,

    What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul. — Yiddish Proverb

    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

    When I open my eyes and look at the wide world, I become great; when I close my eyes and look within, I become greater still.

    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,
