What's badder than the Badlands?
Me and Tim and the kids in the car, off on another big/small adventure. This time it's to the Black Hills. The last time I went out there was the office trip to Deadwood in 2003. Or was it 2004?
I am excited to go here ... and we're thinking of going down here and of course you can't miss the big thing.
But the Katie Excite O'Meter is not so hot on here (although if we don't go there Little E will never speak to me again, so of course we will.
I'll take the new MacBook Pro on the road, so stay tuned for updates.

IMAGE 2: Me and Mollie on the Paulsen bus to Mt. Rushmore on that trip way back when. (Incidentally, taken by the Blonde Monologuer - who is much missed to this day.)

MEMORY LANE: The bus never made it to Mt. Rushmore that day. Wouldn't go up the slippery road. It was January, after all. That's the closest poor Moll has been to the Big Monument. Gotta get you out there next time, girl!
RANDOM COSMETIC COMMENT: My teeth look like I'm a 2-pack a day smoker in that one. Good lord. It's just coffee.
