Even though I’ve already been to Madison, Wisconsin, I figured I would use the time to eat at a few more places. Because hey, who doesn’t like food tours? It ended up being a weird deja vu. The rest of the day was a lot less already seen stuff. We spent some of it deep …

I admittedly didn’t spend a lot of time in Indiana. I really only crossed through the northern tip of the state. So my Indiana experience is fairly limited. But there are some pretty cool museums that I was able to visit along the way. For some reason, they were all vehicle related. I guess that …

For a slight change of pace, I actually spent two days in Canton, Ohio. I had some work I needed to catch up on and I found a great MMA gym that was nice enough to let me come in and train with their team for a few days. There was also some amazing hiking …

This morning started out with around 4 hours of driving from Franklin Lakes, New Jersey to Ithica, New York. It was fairly early for me. I’m not usually one to get up around 500am. 5 o’clock, like 6 o’clock is a time that generally only comes around once per day for me. But Charlie and I …

One of the reasons I’m taking this trip is for my cousin Barbara. This road trip is occurring in her car where, oddly enough, she and I spent most of our time together. This 2005 Pontiac Vibe is the car that Charlie and I will be spending our road time in. My cousin Barbara passed away from …

Having recently realized that I’ve been to more countries in the world than I have states in the United States, I thought it might be time to fix that. Add to that the realization that New York City is often times an insular (but culturally rich and distant at the same time) bubble, and …
