Tomorrow I embark on yet another adventure with Gene and Joyce, otherwise known as Mom and Dad. Stay tuned as the three of us take Door County, Wisconsin by storm. (Yeah, it's really on Mom's bucket list.) I've already declared a preemptive ixnay on touring any facility having to do with cheese curds, but you and I know how these trips generally unfold. I have, however, threatened to hole up in Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin estate if Dad comes near me with a healing hot iron, and I've let them both know that my daily diet no longer entails dairy, carbs or rosaries.

If at any point I feel like Christmas Vacation's Audrey experiencing the pain of her eyes being frozen shut, I will allow the words of Clark Griswold to remind me that enduring the insanity is "all part of the experience."

Thanks for joining me. Stick around or check back often. There's rarely a dull moment with these two.
