Mark and I were both typical central Iowa kids who watched Floppy every afternoon after school and even appeared in the audience [...]

My brain is turning to mush… the t.v. must be on!
I’ve spent a fair amount of time this week in front of the television. I don’t do that often, but I’ve been craving mindless down-time for the past week or so and have been watching more. Here are a few notes from this week’s watching:
I seem to discover a lot of programs in re-runs that are [...]
I sang (if you can call it that) in front of actual people!
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin’ new.
Ohh, but it doesn’t matter,
’cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
One of the neat things we did while out with friends for our anniversary [...]

The First Official Iowa State Fair Meme-On-A-Stick!
I don’t know exactly why I love the State Fair… it’s always scorching hot, the food is bad for you, and it’s a lot of damn walking. But, it’s also one of the “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” according to travel author Patricia Schultz. And as a lifelong Iowan, I believe it’s quite [...]
