Finally, on Sunday, we reached the end of Route 66. It wasn't without it's tribulations, because apparently Santa Monica is super busy on a Sunday night. The attraction of the 3rd Street Promenade and the pier made it very difficult to park, navigate and walk around. On the way to ...

First discovered by the ancient Pueblo people, first seen by a European in 1540 and championed by Teddy Roosevelt as a national treasure, The Grand Canyon now serves as America's preeminent tribute to riding a bus. Oh, you occasionally see a beautiful big hole, but you will mostly see a ...

First off, a sad part of irony I forgot yesterday. We were eating at a somewhat 50s-themed diner in Weatherford, Oklahoma. You know, Oklahoma, "Native America". This maybe a good time to make sure whatever music service you are using doesn't play "Running Bear". Just a suggestion.

(Sorry, too tired last night to post)
The third day was the day to get Missouri done and over with see everything Missouri offers. However, my highlight of the day barely has to do with anything really Missouri-ish. When I lived in Colorado, I loved a semi-national pizza chain called Godfather's ...

Well, the theme of forgetting stuff continued. Only this time, it was not right in front of me. I forgot my medicine. After a very expensive trip to the pharmacy, Susan and I were off to visit the wonderfulness of Route 66 in the Land of Lincoln.

There's been a disturbing trend in my life in the past few days. I am losing things that are not lost. Yesterday, it was a putter that was clearly in my golf bag, for some reason I did not see it. Unfortunately, the trend continues.
While my kitchen is being remodeled, ...

There's photographic evidence of me being normal sized, but nothing really after 1976. I don't really remember when the gut appeared, or too many of my weights of my younger self. It's too depressing, other than it has been too high since the 3rd grade. Not being athletically gifted, any ...

Well, life's been more than should be allowed crazy the last few months, but I've finally seen some movies. Let's see where we stand.
Moving On:

First up, some reviews:
Cat Ballou -- Normally, I hate musicals. Detest them. Nobody walks around in song describing what happened. And to think this is the last visual evidence of Nat King Cole. However, wasn't bad. Barely 3 stars.
The TV Set -- Every joke can be seen coming a mile ...
