In 1995, Eustace and his brother Judson rode their horses across America. They didn’t know if it was possible or even legal to do this. They didn’t have any corporate sponsors or fancy gear. They just ate a big Christmas dinner with their family and then strapped on their guns, mounted their horses, and headed out. Eustace reckoned they could make it to the Pacific by Easter,...

WatchI was at this super sweet wedding just a week and a half ago, and I am absolutely blown away by this amazing video (as well as by the fast turn around!)

I drove home from North Carolina today, passing through northern Georgia. Possibly the best church sign I spotted: You don’t need Twitter to follow Jesus. (I also was confused about whether Subway’s “He is risen” referred to the Jesus or the tasty sub rolls.)
Easter is baffling when you’ve never celebrated it. I found myself competing in an egg hunt for adults this...

The thing about going home to Florida (maybe going home to anywhere, but definitely to Florida, that wretched, strange, wonderful state), is that you need to go only for a short time because the heat is outrageous and your mother will start to drive you crazy and you’re really only there to say hello and to eat at your favorite Vietnamese restaurant and to pet your dog because he’s...

Planning the Perfect Prom →
I came upon this random high school newspaper article about ‘planning the perfect prom’ after posting a snarky answer to a Yelp talk thread. I’m never snarky and I feel a little bad. I certainly didn’t have a perfect prom, though I wonder if anyone does.
I didn’t go my senior year because I was sort of over high school and cliques and not fitting in. My mom said I...

I accidentally read a stranger’s sexts on the train this morning. Oops.
His paramour: That’s for me to know, and you to find out. ;)
Him: I know u a bad girl.
I wonder if that counts as my first threesome. I can’t say I’m a big fan of sexting, and it just doesn’t seem the thing to do on a MARTA train before noon.
:D
That’s all.

Baseball is back
It feels so good to be checking ESPN every two minutes, once again. Went back to my regular baseball bar last night for the first time since last season—the manager came over to put the game on for me, and said, baseball season, huh? Sure is.
Tonight, we got ourselves a pitcher’s duel, and I really need a win to make me feel all right about it all. Anyway, it’s really strange...

Thomas' Custom Southern Charmer House Tour →
I’m a day late, but Apartment Therapy’s April Fool’s post was just too good. I’ve never been to Monticello, so I didn’t recognize the photos and fell for it for longer than I’d like to admit. The write-up is hilarious.
