As happens every year at this time, I sit down to recap the year, and I think to myself, what the hell did we do? If this didn’t happen to me every year, I might think I was losing my mind. It could be the horse is already out of the barn. Karen had her… Read More 2023 in Review – Dec 2023
We have been camped for the past week at the Champlain Resort Adult Campground in Grand Isle, VT. I know this is probably a layup to make jokes about staying at an “adult” campground.

That leaves us old, cranky misanthropes to scour the… Read More White Mountains of NH – Sept 2023
For the three of you who read this blog, I’ll bet you’ve missed us! Wait, you haven’t? I know it has been a while since we last communicated with you, but it hasn’t been for a lack of love.

No, we are not at Saint Peter’s Basilica. But we are near a royal place. People have their own most reverent places to go. Folks might go to Saint Peter’s, the Hurva Synagogue, the Pashupatinath Temple, the Masjid al‑Haram Mosque. The Simpsons go to the First Church of Springfield. The Slowskys go to Franklin’s BBQ… Read More The Basilica of ATX – May 2023
Going to visit your kids never gets old. For us. For them, of course, it is interminable. We made a trip to Washington, DC to see Child Unit 1, and as always had a fabulous time. Now I won’t lie – taking a 55-foot long rig into DC is no prize, much less the roads… Read More Washington, DC – Apr 2023

Greetings from the great white north (Eh, Hoser?). We have successfully endured our first full winter in the Live Free or Die state of New Hampshire – no worse for the wear.
