Mathew and I went swimming today in the hotel pool while Keena watched. I bet you didn’t know that there were sharks in Holiday Inn pools, but there are. Lots. And also lions and tigers. But some of the sharks were friendly, and only one bit off part of Mathew’s foot. At nighttime, when the [...]

Shannon and I were driving to Detroit today and we were talking and all the sudden I saw what looked like a bird with a really long tail walking across the 8-lane freeway. I yelled, “watch out” and Shannon swerved and missed what she later said she had thought was a pheasant or something. As [...]

For mother’s day, I made my mommy this and Shannon made her daddy the other (but not for Mommy’s day.) My favorite picture of Shannon, though, is this one:

We saw you driving in Missouri. We didn’t know you’re a girl there, though. You’d think you’d share these things with us.

When we arrived at Grand Canyon, we stopped just inside to eat the lunch we picked up for a picnic and stopped at Desert View to start looking around and eat. Lizi was freezing and had two fleeces, a jacket, and her gloves on because of the freezing 60 some odd degree weather. Lizi laughed [...]

Sunday Lizi took me and Shannon to Devil’s Bridge. Shannon and I get easily distracted and do things like stop and take pictures (half of which I later throw out because it is difficult to capture the grandiosity of this area of the country on pixels). I scrambled up up a slab into an overhang [...]

Today we went to part of the graduation at Prescott, up until Lizi gave away her students (one of whom was named Tessa, to Shannon’s delight). The president of Prescott College gave a pretty thoughtful and inspiring speech, I thought, and then I became obsessed with the fact that I think he was our Dean [...]

So I started to write this on Saturday, and I’ve also written stuff up until yesterday, but Shannon and I need to get on the road, and so hopefully I’ll have it all up not too much later than today. Anyway, here we go: It’s strange how I always seem to be doing these things [...]

Quote of the Weekend: ‘You’re talking but all I hear you saying is, ‘Blah, blah, blah , mimosas.” You’d think that Disneyland and Las Vegas would be so far apart culturally as to not even qualify as the same vacation. But when you start the Disneyland section with a trip to Bevmo, suddenly Disneyland gets [...]

I’m not updating about Norwes, but here’s one of my photos: So a few days later, Naomi and I went to Ashland oh, about a week ago. We went to go see plays and found out that there was also a film festival. One of the shorts we saw was The Fan and the Flower: [...]

At some point on the trip, Shannon and I started talking about the games you could play with the truckers—making up secret handshakes that the truckers use to look for certain types of people, and that kind of stuff. After driving all day, everything gets really REALLY funny. Luckily for us, Charlie (of Charlie and [...]
