Redesigned Website, New Blog!

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Though I don’t promise to stay in one place in the real world, I do promise to stop changing blogs so often. Regardless, the newly redesigned and very spiffy www.nomadchronicles.com will remain the place to track me down online. This is my last entry from this blog, since I’m certainly no longer on the road with Rolo. Over and out!

Last Pictures

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

Some pictures from Kansas, courtesy of my cousin, and a few more pictures of Rolo’s final day are in the Midwest album. Enjoy!

So I’ve made it to New Jersey, and all’s well… no immediate plans to go elsewhere–except to Ithaca/Syracuse next weekend for my brother’s band’s final show.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll let you know when I get a new blog set up.

On the Road Without Rolo

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006
Amazing how everything can change in a millisecond. Still completely enamored of the blue highways (see earlier post), last Friday I mapped a route from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky, that would take me almost all the way to the Kentucky ... [Continue reading this entry]

More Pictures

Available here. I suppose Denver isn't technically considered the Midwest, but whatever. Unfortunately my cousin Keri has all the pictures from my adventures in Kansas on her camera, so those will have to be posted later.

Chi-Town

Sunday, May 7th, 2006
I've been to Chicago several times (although my friend Connie and I found that our collective memories of those visits are hazy at best, and we're not even sure if I've seen her there once or twice or more, and ... [Continue reading this entry]

Blue Highways

Sunday, May 7th, 2006
I drove all the way from Salina, Kansas, to Aurora, Illinois, without getting on the interstate. I quickly realized the appeal of what writer William Least Heat-Moon calls the blue highways because they were that color on old highway maps: ... [Continue reading this entry]

Local Flavor

Saturday, May 6th, 2006
Our time in Denver was spent with old friends, catching up on each other's lives, eating good food... We went to see the Bodyworlds exhibit, a fascinating way to learn more about the human body. It made me ... [Continue reading this entry]

City Slicker

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006
The other day, a Kansas farm boy told me that he just didn't understand why anyone would want to live in the city (I think he was referring specifically to New York, but I'm sure his sentiments would apply to ... [Continue reading this entry]

More on Vegas

Sunday, April 30th, 2006
I just realized I went on to write about Utah before I was done with Vegas. I'll keep it brief: The next day we went back to the Hoover Dam and leaned way over the edge and photographed it from ... [Continue reading this entry]

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever

Sunday, April 30th, 2006
All of the places my brother and I visited in Utah were repeats--we passed through this area on a family road trip when I was almost 7 and he almost 4. But our memories of that trip are vague ... [Continue reading this entry]
