Moon Rocks
Okay… let’s go with kind of a ‘deep cut’ for this week’s post title. “Moon Rocks” was on the Talking Heads’ wonderful ‘Speaking in Tongues’ album. By why name this post ‘Moon Rocks’? Well to answer that, let’s start with another question…. “where’s Nico?” Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument! Since we last chatted about our travels,…

April in Paris
Okay… I’m taking a one-post Talking Heads hiatus, but I thought this Ella Fitzgerald/Count Basie classic would be the perfect title for this post, aside from two minor facts: first off, we didn’t get to our most recent destination until May first, so we didn’t exactly get there in April, and second of all… well,…

Wild Wild Life
Okay… so when the Talking Heads were kind of at their peak, David Byrne decided to make a movie called ‘True Stories’, and the whole band shows up in the film at one point or another. Wild Wild Life was kind of the hit single from the soundtrack. Here’s an odd bit of trivia –…

Nico Nico in Coconino!
Okay, we’re going to put the Talking Heads song titles away for a post here, because we enjoyed the word play around Nico and our current location. Credit to Kristen for coming up with the post title. I was trying to think of a way to change up “Copa Cabana” to “Coconino”, but to no…

These Memories Can’t Wait
Okay… when I started writing these travel posts, I thought “Road to Nowhere” was the perfect title. I love the Talking Heads, and it tied in to our plans so nicely. Since then I’ve kind of boxed myself into using Talking Heads song titles for these posts, which wasn’t really my intention. I mentioned last…

This Must Be The Place
Okay… This may be the last Talking Heads song I go with for a title. I love this little tune off “Speaking in Tongues”, but I realize we’re well past where anyone outside of pretty big fans will know what the heck I’m referring to. Anyway, I’m sure you’re curious what “must be the place”?…

Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign
I mentioned before that Kristen and I have hit a couple dozen national parks together, and Nico is rapidly building up his collection of parks too. It’s cliche, but we often take a picture of the park sign near the entrance. You can see from Nico’s face above, that he thinks it’s kind of a…

These Paws Are Made For Walkin’
Another song title used for a post title, but this time not the Talking Heads. I have to thank Kristen for coming up with the title for this week’s travelogue, and Nancy Sinatra for the wonderful song (although I still argue her best songs are “Somethin’ Stupid” and “Bang Bang”). So… the question once again,…

Take Me To The River
Okay, let’s stick with Talking Heads songs for our title again this week. After all, they were one of the most fun bands ever, so I may try to ride this out a bit further. But if you see a future post entitled “Psycho Killer”, then maybe it’s time to worry, qu’est-ce que c’est? It…

Who’s Nico?
You can’t really start a ‘Where’s Nico’ blog without mentioning who Nico is. Nico is a nine pound chihuahua made up of equal four and a half pound slabs of heart and mischievousness. He was born on September 1, 2022 and joined our family that November 20th. We realize a lot of chihuahuas have a…
