One of the great benefits of my job is that I get to travel all across the country. In my 23 years, I have met enough people that could easily allow me to travel across the continent and never need a hotel. Last year, I spent time with my cousin […]

In case you haven’t heard, I’m applying for the Best Job in the World. The chances of me getting this are extremely slim, but it can’t hurt to try. Please go to the website, watch the video again, and give me a good rating. That will greatly increase my chances […]

What a day yesterday was! We had 2 school assemblies in the morning to promote a show on Sunday in New Braunfels before going to set up and do our largest show to date. Last night we had 2,700 people pack the Community Bible Church. Despite all of the good […]

We just enjoyed a few days off in Bonita Springs, FL. We were in Bonita last year and it remains one of my favorite places in the country. Every time I’m in that area I find more and more exceptional people that strengthen and encourage me, but also make it […]

I’m on the bus again. I’m working on hour 10 right now. So far I’ve watched Eagle Eye and Fun With Dick and Jane, entered all of the online registration codes from yesterday’s show and read some columns I’ve been behind on. Really? That’s it? I think I just depressed […]

Ah, the North. I love the faster pace, but I could do without the lack of Waffle House’s and the snow. I’m at home for the weekend right now and we have about 2 feet of snow. That’s about the most I’ve seen in the past 5 years. I spent […]

I hope that 2009 is off to a great start for all of you. These first few days have been wonderful for me- a lot of sleeping and spending time with family and friends- two activities that I frequently long for. However I found out today that all of this […]

Well Christmas is upon us. I hope that you will have some time to relax with family and loved ones this holiday. I’ve been back in Oil City for about 2 weeks now. It’s unbelievably cold here. When I left for work this morning the thermometer was on 0…and it […]

We’re on our way to Michigan again for our final 2 shows before break. In my last post I mentioned that we were on our way to Charleston. We got in at about midnight, did the show on Saturday, and left at 8:45 Sunday morning. We were supposed to get […]

As all of the turkey and stuffing is still digesting, I am back on the road. I awoke at 3:30 this morning and hit the mall for some Black Friday deals (the only day of the year I actually enjoy shopping) before leaving for Pittsburgh at 8 AM. Here’s the […]

So that’s the last time I’m ever ending a post with “Let’s hope something exciting happens soon.” We have certainly not been short on excitement this trip. As Jack put it yesterday, “Val, will you please blog about all of the crappy stuff that’s been happening to us.” It would […]

First off… a big shout out to Denny Pattyn– President and Founder of SRT who recently revealed that he is a “Road Lots Traveled Reader.” We are currently zipping through Virginia on our way to South Carolina. And by “zipping” I mean nearly sitting still in traffic. The only words […]
