I agree, BtD. It has scope. It has reach. It has panoramic perspective. It has pickled weiners.

In my opinion, I think it was okay. After I heard it, I thought it was a parody of John Denver or something. I thought Albuquerque was more dramatic, but bbtm was more Al-ish.

Well, you gave it a try. That has to count for something. I'd actually like to see the Twine Ball. I'm afraid it'll never happen, though.

Sounds like a good road trip. Make sure you check out Wall Drug.

Favorite quote from this past Sunday's sermon: "I'm sure you'd all like to see the video of our Minnesota vacation and the largest ball of twine."

(and no I didn't ask afterward if he was familiar with TBBOTIM)

Aww, but why not? j/k That's kinda funny, though.

I bet that would have been hysterical if that was what he was quoting from though...
