    On the Road with Lovey (Part 1)

    Traveling with small children is the ultimate adventure.   The bags. The bottles. The bedding.   What won't we do for our kids?   Like that time I jumped off a plane....

    Me and Jesus at the Rodeo

    So what do you know about the rodeo?   Do you think it's just a place to watch cowboys go flying into the dirt? Would it surprise you to learn the rodeo has a spiritual side as well? Trust me Pardner, it does. I saw that spirit at work, just inches away from a raging bull.

    Riding, Flying and Pumping Gas with The First Lady

    Is this really happening? Have I lost my grip on reality?

    I can't find my cameraman. And there's a helicopter waiting... hovering 100 feet above us.

    And Maria Shriver sits nearby, 

    in a low-rider, putting on her makeup. But the craziest part is, this isn't a dream. Unfortunately.

    Up to 50% Off at the Third Tunnel of Aggression

    Paris On $1 A Day

    Mes Amis – My friends

    We’re off to Paris where I get into a bit of difficulté. 

    I’m young.

    I’m stupid.

    And I manage to get myself stuck inside a cemetery.

    With literally a million others.

    But they’re dead.

    What’s my excuse?

    Edinburgh: You Must Think We Are Barbarians

    Edinburgh for the holidays is kinda special. Beautiful, cold, dark and twinkly. With a just touch of the looney. We got there after a crazy flight. It was all castles, caverns and peaty drams in festive pubs. Join us down these merry lanes.   Season’s greetings and a Happy New Year!  

    Now here's a wee tale for ya.

    Planes, Trains & Automobiles... Also Choppers & Butterflies

    Hola! Today we’re flying with the President of Mexico to one of the wonders of our world. No, it's not a Mayan temple or a smoldering volcano.    No one was sacrificed or conquered there. It's crazier than that. It took the imagination of a universe to divine a place this... startling. And to think it was just discovered some thirty years ago. Hop on board as we adventure to Wonderland...

    Giving Thanks in Aguas Calientes

    This is a story about disaster in Peru. 

    But also recovery, adventure and thanks.

    We were just happy to make it out of that place alive.

    So of course we celebrated by eating.

    A big, festive meal, straight from the earth.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
