    Pig races at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. They swam too. Number Four at the front there was “our pig”. He won. That’ll do, pig. Heather was kind of skanky at the rodeo. She rode a bull and snuck into the pig races. I don’t know WHAT got into her. Melissa and Matt Harlan.…

    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA One of the highlights of the Rodeo was Live chicks being hatched. Heather (and about a billion others) were quite taken by the little fuzzy creatures slowly making their way out of their Morkish prisons. You wanted to reach in and help them, but then they were kind of…

    Ugh. I feel iffy. Exhaustion and too much interesting food, not enough sleep and running night after night after night is finally taking its toll and my belly is aching and I’m more tired than I’ve been in a long, long time. Our friend Joe Kowan being introduced by Pat, one of the owners at…

    Van Halen marathon while driving through the swamp on I-10! God I Love me some Van WAILIN! Driving to Hammond, Louisiana we crossed over Lake Pontchartrain… 25 miles of nothing but lake. It was awesome and I’m glad they don’t have a lake monster that eats passing cars… Also on the way to Hammond, we…

    A very happy Heather sits and works at Cafe Envie in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. There’s a sign on the door that guarantees good coffee and attractive people, but I was having a bad hair day and I’m assuming they’d just let ANYONE in. (Happy Birthday Dad!) And speaking of New Orleans,…

    It’s funny to think about how little I know. Maybe funny isn’t the right word… I’m often shocked when I’m reminded how little I know. The other night at Eddie’s Attic I’m talking to a new-found friend about our upcoming travels and I’m asking him if he’s ever heard of Vicksburg , Mississippi (our next…

    I don’t see morning much doing what I do, so it never fails that when I wake up before noon I find myself disoriented by the light. The intensity, color and angle of 9 a.m. is so unfamiliar that I always spend a moment wondering if I am still dreaming, the illumination too surreal for…

    Congratulations to ilyAIMY are in order, so please send us coupons, candy, and a trailer. The new sound system means we CAN NOT gain weight! Heather’s been working on a twin-horned cap of doom. I’m not at liberty to tell you more. In Decatur we picked up our new sound system. The speakers are a…

    he weather is sunshiny and down-right peachy as we pass the giant peach in Gaffney, South Carolina. We’ve left Ben behind and his kind smile is lingering as we drive to Tryon. ZZ Top is on the radio and spirits and speeds are high as we pass offers for free tastes of peach salsa. I…
