More from Downtown Chattanooga
I took a bunch of pictures in Chattanooga, but since we’re going to be here in Flagstaff a second night (and the time change wakes us up early) I think I’m going to have the time to process all of them. There are some beautiful buildings and artwork in the city; somehow I made it through the…

From Arkansas to Texas
Yesterday we successfully made it from Arkansas, all the way through Oklahoma, and into Amarillo, Texas. We got some pictures of the trees disappearing, and at least one of me where I would appreciate it if you would ignore the multiple chins.

Exploring Downtown Chattanooga
After recovering from the delicious lunch, we spent Wednesday evening exploring downtown Chattanooga with Jason and Kaylin. I got a few decent pictures of them and us loving on each other and standing around the lovely buildings. There were a bunch of people playing and swimming in the fountains.

I’m earnestly attempting to reduce the…

Numbing the Mouth
Last week Rachel and I went with some friends to the Red Pearl, a new Chinese restaurant in Columbia. Our server, Ben, was able to immediately tell me which dishes contained peanuts—an excellent start. Even with so many peanut allergies this is a rare trait; most of the time they have to go back and…

When Holidays Aren’t
While I wanted Rachel not to have to work both of her jobs today, her becoming markedly ill was not the method I envisioned. After seeing a doctor she ended up going to her second job regardless, leaving me to pick up her prescriptions. Thus, I spent more time driving on Route 40 than is…
