We crossed rather uneventfully into Canada earlier this afternoon, driving along the lake for the most part. Entering Canada is rather easy.
Hi, yes, we're just driving through to get to the other side. Thanks, have a nice day!
Canada: no worries, we aren't worried you're trying to bomb us.
On the other ...

Day two and we're still in Michigan... albeit around 380 miles from where we were this morning. Tomorrow we'll cross into Canada and then Niagara Falls—the reason for our roundabout trip.
We managed to drive almost the entire Upper Peninsula without eating a pasty. (I've had one before and I wasn't ...

It's road trip time and day one began with little fanfare. We covered a little over 300 miles (we're taking a rather leisurely pace) and we've stopped in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
So in our minds, two states down.. woohoo! :P

One of my favorite things to do is meet new people. I've no problem randomly chatting with someone and their mother in any scenario, and generally about any topic.
That being said, I hate having to meet people who's opinion of me will be based on this meeting alone. Interviews are ...

"Step out of the car, turn around and put your hands on the hood."
"I'm sorry, your credit card has been declined."
"Flight such-and-such to so-and-so has been delayed. Please see a counter attendant to check ...

After many days of deliberation, several astronomers have decided that Pluto is no longer a planet.
Um.
New guidelines? Come on. Who decides that we need new guidelines, huh? I liked the old ones.
And I liked Pluto.

I'm desperately trying to understand why this is a problem... Man trapped waist-deep in chocolate.

My momma and I were talking the other day and I mentioned that I was seeing someone and oh, btw, since you're coming to town in a few weeks, I thought maybe you could meet him. Dinner, you know?
She was a little quiet, but said OK, rapidly followed by, I ...

Friday night was a bit raucous, as J and I and several friends went and heard her boyfriend's band at a local bar.
And did shots. Lots of shots. I thought we'd only done four, but J informed me yesterday at the beach that we'd done six, and since one ...

One of the best questions in an interview is, "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
Which makes the second best one, "And in ten years?"
