Of all the Springfields I could have visited, the one in Missouri ended up being a great choice. In this update we eat in a quonset hut, walk with Wild Bill, frolic with butterflies and finish our sentenc. (Sorry I ran out of space.)
The Last Lap
In this update, our journey reaches the 3/4 mark. We visit song places 69 and 70, Tulsa and Oklahoma. We draw our bow, meet the Golden Driller, save a turtle, trade ore for sheep, feed the chickens and dance in confetti. This is how the last lap begins…
A Magic Carpet and Everywherepardy
In this post I finally make it to Joplin, MO, home of my dear friends, Adam and Natalie. There, we experience some of the most extreme hospitality imaginable. Also in this post, we debut the first episode of everyone’s favorite trivia game: Everywherepardy!
Chief Among Them
The final phase of my journey begins! I have my two year reunion, experience lots of connections to my past and finally cross off Kansas City.
Musings from Mom

Everywhere Max
He’s seen the Ombabika cemetery, he’s slept in a Schefferville train station, he’s tried to bribe the Ferriday Police with maple syrup… and now our paths cross. My fellow Everywhereicans, meet Max.
Finally Facing My Waterloo
In this post, Mom and I close out our time in Iowa. We visit the Anamosa Motorcycle Museum, Waterloo (place 67 of 92) and head back towards home. We nearly get washed away, see the Sistine Chapel Ceiling in spray paint and find out just what a “Waterloo Boy” is.
Lean Into the Curves Together
Welcome to the evening news with Mom and Brett. Our top story tonight is that we visited Davenport, Iowa and had a splendid time. We completed our first TV interview, made new friends and learned the most important lesson for successful travel in Iowa.

On the Loosa
Look out, Iowa, Mom and I have been set loose! We turn our eyes to the Hawkeye state as Chapter 4 officially begins. We have wonderful time with family, a less wonderful time with weather and reach our next song place, Oskaloosa.
The Mom Interview
An introduction to the new character in our story. I ask the tough questions, like what she would do if I were spontaneously turned into a hot dog….
