The Sixty Sixtahs met again tonight…our last planning meeting, and this time…we made a video!  One problem: if we share it with you then we can no longer EVER run for public office… No wait.  This is an election year, and we know for certain THAT you can get away with QUITE A BIT and still…

You search and search.  Why are you here?  Is there more for ME?  Can I (be happier?), Can I (have more), Can I (this), Can I (that).  We’re all looking for our story. I’ve been watching Patty.  I think we all have been.  We’re having so much fun planning our trip and being around her….

Baby, look at me.  Tell me what you see.  You ain’t seen the best of me yet.  Give me time, I’ll make you forget the rest.  I’ve got more in me, and you can set it free.  I can catch the moon in my hand.  Don’t you know who I am?  Remember my name. —…

OK. Jane and Patty lived near Route 66 as well.  In a brief detour from life in the Chicago area, Mom and Dad Callaghan took the expanding family to Oklahoma for a spell.  Little Janey joined the family in Oklahoma and has a certificate from then Governor Dewey Bartlett to certify that she is, indeed, an Okie.  As…

Maybe it was Devils Elbow Bridge in Waynesville, Missouri where our Trudi sat and dangled her legs during her two years in this tiny “quaint” midwestern town.  This bridge is part of the old Route 66.  She had moved to Waynesville with her family from Seoul, Korea in her junior year of high school.  Imagine…

fanatic: a person with excessive and single-minded zeal, especially for an extreme religious or political cause.  Synonyms include:  zealot, extremist, militant, dogmatist, devotee. I’m not sure the six of us qualify under the strict definition of “fanatic” but you may have noticed how often we include Ellen Degeneres and Melissa McCarthy in our posts?  We identify with…

Maybe you watch “Naked and Afraid” on television like some of us do and aspire to have an acceptable Primitive Survival Rating.  It’s a nine point scale with 9.0 being the perfect score and indicative of the most prepared, fit, knowledgeable, and skilled survivalist.  The winners of these challenges also seem to be very good…

If you look up “The Cure” on the internet, amazingly you first find newsy reports about an English rock band formed in West Sussex in 1976.  The Cure will, in fact, be touring the U.S. this summer at the time we will be touring on Route 66. Something like fourteen million people living in the United…

This is the part where we start dropping teasers…we’ve got tricks up our sleeves, don’t forget it.  We told you we’re renting a suburban, right?  Well…she’s named “Sparky” but we haven’t met her yet,  and we’re hoping she’s road-worthy and has really really big seats…it’s a long drive.  And we told you we’re fun, right?…
