In which Phoebe and Robin blog about their adventures on the road.
What's All This About, Then? (aka Your Many Questions Indelicately Answered)
(hint #1: scroll down and this won't be as hard to read. You're welcome.) We go on trips. Road trips. Other trips. But mostly road trips. Sometimes (ideally) long ones. Sometimes not.
Yes, this is the same blog as the one about the Oregon Trail. Yes, it used to have a stagecoach and a dusty feel to it, which went along with the Oregon Trail very nicely. Yes, that was a great trip. That was three years ago. (the blog is still here if you want to read it...it starts here)
So...as we embark on the latest chapter of our roamin' ways, we want to invite you to come along. First, we might get lonely. I mean, we don't really get lonely much, but it's possible. Second, you might miss us. Third, you just might be nosy. And fourth, we are notoriously and and historically bad at sending postcards, circulating photos, keeping up with a scrapbook; as a matter of fact, with documenting our trip in most every way. We figured this might be the 21st century solution. It worked for the last trip, which was (as you know) three years ago (sniff). So we're keeping it going.
We hope you'll pop in, read about where we are, what we're doing, see photos of our adventures, and experience our gypsy hardships (like no room service) vicariously! Most importantly, we hope you'll add your comments and greetings, which we will get when we get to one of our stopping points. Souvenir requests will receive due consideration (Hint #1: Success is highly correlated with tackiness).
For those so inclined (you know who you are), we will also list links to related sites so that you can learn with us as we learn on the road, and maybe visit some of the same sights in the future!
Happy Trails to us all!
Love, Phoebe and Robin

Phoebe, What guts you have! Ride 'em cowgirl! Personally, I would have taken a taxi. I've lapsed in my blogging but with good reason...went to the Harry Potter late night festivities with Sarah on Friday in NYC (just amazing!) and an antiques auction yesterday (and had chance to tell off some local anti-Semitic yahoos talking loudly about how "those rich Jews are taking over" etc.). Anyway, I'm glad to catch up. Robin, I too have a confession...I have been known to prowl the home goods dep't of Wal-Mart at midnight here in the Catskills (I needed a lamp shade ASAP; don't ask). Question: What is the purpose of roping steer and is it still relevant in today's world?
My understanding is that roping steer or calves is primarily for branding or doctoring, though in rodeo form, it has no purpose at all other than "entertainment" and competition.
Probably not relevant in today's world. Definitely cruel. There is much to object to in the rodeo world.
Phoebe, you are amazing! I was already in awe of you from your birthday trapeze lesson as well as the bungee jump, but riding a bull (& with one hand in the air!!) You are my hero! What an adventure you and Mommy are having!(Enough with the exclamation points already!!!!)

It's like she was born in the saddle...
You go girl! This is even more impressive than the bungee thing!
