Lots of change is afoot. For starters, I completely revamped my site. Or rather, sites. Plural. For years, I've had a professional(ish) site, first name last name dot com, plus a separate blog. Once upon a time, that was Mark My Words. Then, when we decided to move to South Dakota, I started a new … Continue reading One away from 50K!

Getting OUR Griswold On: Day 8 – Austin, MN
How Cheesy! And just like that, we've arrived at our final destination: Austin, Minnesota. It's hard to believe we've been on the road for an entire week already. On the other hand, Sioux Falls already feels like a lifetime ago. This has been a fantastic trip. Tara is ready to be home, while I kinda … Continue reading Getting OUR Griswold On: Day 8 – Austin, MN
Beware of False Perverts

We'll be taking off around 2:00, so I submitted the paperwork to my … Continue reading Needed: One Velvet Elvis
Cauliflower in my In Box
This morning, I opened up one of the cans of SPAM I bought from the museum in Minnesota. It was the Garlic variety, and was - true to its word - quite garlicky (and delicious). Audrey and I enjoyed SPAM 'n eggs, while Rusty opted for a SPAMburger. We all cleaned our plates. And this … Continue reading Cauliflower in my In Box
Getting My Griswold On – Day 6: Austin, MN
Miles traveled today: 556.9 Total miles traveled: 2282.9 So That's How They Came Up With The Lyrics My alarm was set for 6 AM today, but I woke up at 5:46 with bright sunshine peeking through the curtains. I sighed, because I knew it was time to bid Rapid City farewell, but I was also … Continue reading Getting My Griswold On – Day 6: Austin, MN
