Anyone who talks to me for more than ten minutes knows I am a huge fan of the Public Radio International show, This American Life. On Thursday night, we went to see the TAL Live Show, streamed to a local movie theater.

Stormy Sunset at Cannon Beach, Oregon
As soon as we got out of the car to take this picture, the rain started coming down in sheets. Luckily, off in the distance, the last light punched through the clouds, creating this dramatic scene.

Even though I’m a vegetarian, Kevin will ...

Kevin and I were in New York a few years ago for the weekend after attending a ...

It's National Park Week and through tomorrow (April 29), all 397 national parks and historic monuments offer free admission.
