Driving

Check this out. We're planning to do a little driving over the next few days, and I want to know what to expect as gas prices go. Bladow! The Gas Price Temperature Map! You can zoom in from nationwide county averages to actual reported gas station prices! Cool, eh?

For those interested, here's our shed yule:

Friday: Becky get out of school at 3. We head down Albuquerque way and I-40 heading West like Dust Bowlers
Saturday: Hang out in Apple Valley a little, make it to Fresno for the evening
Sunday: Chillax in the No, Reedley for dinner, back to the No for the night
Monday: Becky & Becky around 1pm, Late '90s FPU VBall team reunion, make the rest up as we go.
Tuesday: Mid-morning departure to get back to CO for Wed
Wednesday: Finish the drive, sleep some, AnderFam hangout
Thursday: Turkey, Football, Bocce (unless it snows), naps!
Friday: Sangwiches, probably catch Twilight unless we see it some time before then
Saturday through 7 Dec: homework (Que Debbie Downer Trombone)

Dudes!

My favorite band/alter ego just announced a Holiday Tour!

I'm so stoked! I hear they've been working on a lot of new material, and I hear that every note is perfection.

See you all soon.

Thanks for Thanksgiving!

Becky and I got back from SC on Saturday. We had the most splendid time! We made fast friends with Emily and ate Malisa's amazing Thanksgiving dinner. We toured the countryside and both of us were struck by the beauty and history of the place. They showed us the University area and how to get "unsweet" tea, and we ate ribs that will be my standard by which all future ribs will be judged.

We also visited the Columbia Zoo, which we enjoyed thoroughly. Yes, this is Becky squashing the head of a koala. That's cold.



We didn't stick around for the Clemson-SC game, but we caught the hubbub the night before, when we experienced the college/capitol city bar scene at Five Points. Mac's on Main was fantastic-- fun groovy band and good drinks.





My story is a little out of order, but that's what happens when things are so enjoyable.





Thanks, Scott and Malisa! We had so much fun!
