I Suck
cause I didn't blog for days. I drove through three states to visit my parents with three teenagers. I need a merit badge or something.
Back in the office dressed up (court today) and listening to Ben Kweller (who was born in San Francisco but moved with his parents to rural Texas and now he wears cowboy hats). Kids are somehow at school.
It continues to be odd to me that "going home for the holidays" means Oklahoma. And before that it was Texas. And here I am in Nebraska, which is just where they happened to live when I graduated from high school.
On Facebook I tried to put "None" as my hometown, but apparently there is actually a town called "None." It's in Laos. We never lived in Laos. The closest would be when my dad was in Vietnam, I suppose, but during those years my mom and I lived in South Carolina. I get all kinds of interesting friend requests in an Asian language. I think they think I am actually Laoatian? Might as well be. Course, I hear that road trips across Laos are worse than road trips across the Heartland. No McDonalds and no Red Boxes.

merit badge, indeed. and those Laotian road trips are definitely worse what with the literal highway robbery and all....
hope your journey was a good one.
I'm pretty sure you can cash those driving days in for WinAlltheBloggoPoints™ , because really!
I wonder if there's a town called Everywhere? AllOverthePlace?
and some times no roads.
hope it was a nice thanksgiving, worth the drive and all that.
You don't suck. I try to blog often, but I can't do it every day. And yes, you definitely deserve a merit badge!
i get in spirited debates often because i think Ben Kweller's second album is good. ditto for Pete Yorn's second album. way to enjoy the good music.
Laos is a great place to call home. at least it's fun to say out loud.
