I survived the 10 hour drive (average speed 55 mph, only two dead deer) and two days at Sesame Place. I managed to get a partial sunburn on my chest, stomach and shoulders. I say partial because I have splotches of skin the sun was unable to char. All of the lines I stood [...]

I’ll be traveling most of the day, taking my kids to the greatest place on earth that is sponsored in part by viewers like you. I’m taking the laptop along (hotel has wireless, sweet!) just in case I have the opportunity to post something. As I write this I’ve got a 10 [...]
