Cash Flow

I start my new job at U.S. Cellular next Monday.  I am excited to get back into a routine and hopefully shed the 'useless' feeling that blossoms with unemployment.  I'm also keen to see some income.  After some scary touch-and-go, looks like we'll be able to make the mortgage payment for May, but we won't … Continue reading Cash Flow →

The Wonders of Forgotten Technology

I loved my history classes in High School.  I was blessed with a few really good teachers, with a keen interest in the subject they were teaching, and that kind of excitement is infectious.  I've always leaned towards American History rather than old-world history (see what I did with capital letters there?) but once in … Continue reading The Wonders of Forgotten Technology →

An Iron Giant

Living in northeast Oklahoma doesn't give me a lot of opportunity for short jaunts to fantastic places.  If I want to go to Dallas, Texas, it's a five hour drive south.  About the same distance north is Kansas City.  That same distance again east or west will greet me with plenty of small towns, but … Continue reading An Iron Giant →

Thanks for the Convenience

I miss a lot about traveling.  The feeling of not knowing where I'll be next week.  The sense of new and unknown right outside my door.  The wonder of tasting a new food or seeing something I've only seen on the page of a book.  The warmth of making a new friend.  I even (sometimes) … Continue reading Thanks for the Convenience →

One Year Later

It was one year ago today that I hugged my mother and we set out in Brad's Chevrolet van into the great unknown.  To quote Doc Brown, "My God, has it been that long?"  It also feels like last week.  Some things have changed, others haven't.  The world seems to have a way of trying … Continue reading One Year Later →

When Indi and I were in Thailand, we met (and stayed with) a charming lady named Emma.  She is from Oxford, England (where we stayed with her folks, actually) and works as an editor for a travel magazine in Bangkok.  When our trip was beginning to end, Emma e-mailed me and asked if I would … Continue reading Published →

Sudden Six Flags

Friday night, Indi and I were sitting at home with our friends Nikki and Brad and playing World of Warcraft.  Brad gets a call from his friend Paul asking if they want to go to Six Flags.  In, like, an hour.  About two hours later, that phone call turned from Paul and Malinda (two other … Continue reading Sudden Six Flags →

Spent some time today showing my friend @_______dex around T-Town. He wanted to capture some #neon - what luck! #Route66 #OK66 #sunset #okwx #gas_food_lodging
Thar she glows! The #neon #sign at Vinita's Hi-Way Cafe is lit again after three decades of darkness. What a great sight along #Oklahoma #Route66! #OK66 #signage #neonsign #restoration
Home for the night! This vintage motor court has been lovingly restored and provides the quaint experience that #Route66 travelers seek out on their travels. Highly recommended! #Missouri #Ozark #MO66 @lovespringfield
The King Theatre in Bell Plaine, #Iowa. Dates back to 1930 and is along the Lincoln Highway corridor. @cinematreasures #theater #roadtrip #LincolnHighway
