Let's Go Places: The Great Blogger Road Trip, Part One
Friends, the Great Road Trip of 2026 is in progress. Two bloggers, one car, and many miles.
I am a slow writer in general and an even slower travel writer in particular, so I thought I would try a little experiment with rapid, semi-real time blogging. Instead of sifting through billions of pictures and trying to come up with Profound Thoughts, how about I check in every few days and give you a quick run down of what's been going on?

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads. After skimping on the cooking for a while, this week I got back into the kitchen with a vengeance to try out some new eats.

Let's Go Places: Springfield, Illinois and Des Moines, Iowa feat. Art and FLW
Friends, it's road trip time again! I packed a lot into one week, so we're going to do this "post card" style.
The mission: visit the state capitals/capitols of Illinois and Iowa, go on an Iowa FLW bender, and most importantly, meet an epic blogger. The result: all of that plus a surprise encounter with a work of art.

Weekly Round Up: Visitors
A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, reads, and other odds and ends. This week Doggo and I hosted visitors, two of whom were invited and one of whom was not, and we laid low to beat the heat. We've been leaning into early morning and late evening dog walks, with a few outdoor breaks in the yard throughout the day.
