Exercise Breaks

Filed under: From the Road & Humor by Erin on 12/1/2009

While in St. Louis this past summer I took advantage of a free afternoon to wander a few of the Gateway City’s many attractions. One of those was the St. Louis Art Museum in Forest Park. The museum was in the midst of a massive expansion project which made navigating the different galleries a bit [...]

We spied this unique vehicle assemblage in St. Louis and thought it a fitting time of year to share it with you. He looked like a nice enough guy but his license plate leaves things a bit open to interpretation. I mean, is he offering the passenger seat or the casket?

Ah, the start of a new month, time for our From the Road feature. Since the first of April is known the world over as a day of jokes, pranks, and hoaxes we’ve put together a sampling of paronomasias (Lance shares his father’s affinity with puns). You know, puns. Aw come on, puns aren’t that [...]

Thought we’d start March off with a bit of humor…

Ingenuity

Filed under: From the Road & Humor by Erin on 2/1/2009

While in Provo, Utah this past September we read the following blurb in the local “Coffee Times” newsletter:
