Friday, August 13 KTVC – KACB – KGKJ – KMMU (Part of the lost trip report.) After our incredibly, almost-theme-park-like stay in Traverse City, we needed to return to New York City, where Nell would meet us. We had a small cooler of salmon to drop off at TW’s, definitely worth driving to the airport [...]
Saturday, July 31 2009 KJAC – KRAP – KFSD – KMSN Part of the Lost Trip Report. This was one of my favorite days of flying. It wasn’t easy, but it was an adventure and the whole family saw a lot of country that we would never see otherwise.

This is a recap of all of what has happened to us on this cross country trip so far. First thing Monday morning, we hopped in the plane and flew to Tucson, Arizona. The food was delicious, I had a waffle with chocolate chips, whip cream, and apples soaked in a variety of sugary substances [...]

Tuesday, March 31 Onward to “the other L A.” Nell worked on her script while I took the boys to a delicious breakfast at Squeeze Marfa. Who thought you were going to get delicious fresh-squeezed orange juice in a tiny town in the Texas hill country? Marfa is, in some sense, an invention of Donald [...]
