For our 40th anniversary, we were originally going to go somewhere out of town but not knowing what might be opened or not, we decided to avoid potential disappointment and play the tourists in Colorado Springs.

I have a few incidents to chronicle from our little get-away of the last few days. Even though we never left Colorado Springs I don’t think it’s exactly a stay-cation because we didn’t stay at the house. We went and got a cheap room because if we would have stayed at the house we would […]

When June 5th arrives I will have been married for 40 years. I’m afraid I’m doing something wrong though because it’s all been to one woman. Anyway, we would have liked to have done something spectacular and go away somewhere but instead, we are going to do a sort of “stay-cation” and not go very […]
This is for our friend, Ishaan, who asked what he thought was a simple question over at Brother’s Campfire. He asked, “Who is the allegory of America? Do you have one?
