DocAnd Grace On The Road: Home at Last

Got home last night (Friday) about 9:30, roughly a day ahead of schedule. Good to be back. Roscoe was glad to see us. Lots of unpacking to do soon. Had a very fun trip home on Route 66, but Grace and I agree that we will take no more long driving trips (long being more …

Doc and Grace On The Road: Update

Quick update before I collapse into bed. 1: The trip TO GenCon had about a 85% suck rate 2: GenCon itself, all 7 hours total I got to spend at it, was ok. Still, my boredom with things gaming has infected GenCon and I have decided not to return for at least 3 years. Next …

Doc and Grace On The Road: Part Four (Saturday, August 14th)

In which Your Humble Narrator posts a brief note about the NEXT posting. Well, my friends, today started out well...but then the Gods of Vacation decided to piss merrily upon us. Not like they did on John Kovalic on his recent Air Canada Fun Day, but a healthy whiz nonetheless. I'll post the whole sad …

Doc and Grace On The Road: Part Three (Yes, Still Friday, August 13th)

In which we arrive at days end tired, hungry and NOT camping I’m writing this from a motel in Provo, Utah. Grace and I decided that getting up way early and then driving all day thru the desert was not conducive to setting up a camp for the night. So just call us lazy old …

Doc and Grace On The Road: Part Two (Still Friday, August 13th)

In which we finally practice our videography, deal with the heat of the desert, see wildlife and enter Utah. We have finally gotten some video footage under our belts and when the eventual 2004 Road Trip DVD appears, some of you may get to see our handiwork. Actually, a few of you may get to …

Doc and Grace On The Road: Part One (Friday, August 13th)

In which we leave late, find our video attempts confounded and cruise across America’s loneliest road. Well, friends & neighbors, despite my getting out of bed at 1:30 this morning (and Grace arising a half hour later), we still managed to hit the road 45 minutes late. Which isn’t bad for us, I might add. …

You Can’t Escape From The Spy Dogs

Busy busy busybusybusy weekend. Grace and I both had many errands to run and things to take care of here at home in preparation for the Big Trip. We worked our asses off on Saturday, then did more stuff (including packing up enough supplies to outfit a journey up the Nile) until we fell into …

She Has A Light In Her Eyes That Explodes My Soul

My Faithful Hound, Roscoe, is feeling much better today. His vet vist earned him some antibiotics and a day of testing. He was glad to get home. Just over a week until Grace and I begin our roaming route across America. I'll post daily trip updates and GenCon reports here every day that we are …

We Have Dog Activity In Sector 52

Damn...another week between posts. Well, there isn't much news anyway. My tomatos have been hit by hordes of aphids, but seeing as how the heat is beginning to slow tomato production down anyway, I may just harvest what's out there, then cut the plants off a few inches above the ground and dispose of them …
