Insight Bowl, Tempe, AZ
By now, all interested football fans know that IU got the snot kicked out of them by Oklahoma State, so I’m just not going to belabor the point. I mean, why recap a crappy football game? Obviously, Coach Hep should have been a little more specific: instead of passing down the commandment [...]

A petroglyph @ Petroglyph National Monument

That’s the time we pulled into the driveway. It’s been a long, long day … one that started in Vega, Texas, and ended up in our trashed house. Apparently the cats decided to redecorate our landing by — you guessed it — taking a ton of ornaments off of the tree. They even managed to [...]

Pecos National Historical Park, New Mexico
The “Second” Church
Well, our work here in Arizona is done and we’re about to make the trek back to Sorta’ Cosmopolitan. It’s been a rather jam-packed trip; we’ve been to Santa Fe and Los Alamos, we’ve seen four different national park sites, and we’ve been to the bowl game and [...]
