rob’s want to come IN. If only to escape this grumpy cat (visiting Kristen’s old friends Karen & Dave in Raleigh, NC) Dougie is so very Dougie. Performing at the Irish Brigade open mic in Fredericksburg, VA. Community at open mics – it’s a thing! I’ve missed my own, Heather’s been running things while we’ve…

– the factories outside of Charleston… maybe it wasn’t just the venue that smelled like smoke? Callie helps us set up for the house concert in Cary, NC. Well, Morrisville.

Our friend Missy had mentioned this and we were glad to check it out. Despite a grey day we still found some alligators floating around… We…

We’re headed East today, taking a giant leap across the country, a huge mouthful of miles and hoping not to choke. Time’s compressed by a gig on one end and Kristen’s desire to…

Visiting the Alamo with Kristen’s Uncle Joe! The Alamo held the mystery of a holy place – and indeed Texans treat it that way – hats off gentlemen, no pictures! I’m ignorant of much of the history of it, the men and women who died here died nonetheless and I have no idea as to…

This little bird is sleeping on the sprinkler outside of Uncle Joe’s apartment and he says that’s the beest’s SOP. The mound of bird poop beneath confirms the story and I can get pretty close to this little creature before he pays me any mind. He SHOULD have a name, but apparently that’s not how…

Ahh… headed down I-35 is ALMOST like home… glad we’re not going north today! Silky mouthfeel. The construction crews on I-35 north of Dallas apparently have a competition going for making cool barrel monsters. There’s a biplane and a King Kong and an Emmett the Lego Man… my favourite is Dumbo the Safety Elephant! They’ve…
