Zach Morris vs. The World

Heading to Stillwater, Oklahoma today. STILLWATER! Sounds like a band name. Is that from "Almost Famous"? It's also where M used to go to school - way back when. We're talking when Dinosaurs ruled the earth. Like in the 90s.

Also, M used to look like Zach Morris around this time. The wavy hair, tucked in shirt, stonewashed jeans, and everything. No, but really. But mostly the hair. And that cocky stare. Zach Morris! Where are you now!? And, oh man, if you don't know who Zach Morris is, then for shame! You best be going out and renting some "Saved By The Bell" and basking in all that 90s goodness.

Because the world is a'changin'! And Zach Morris now - he's probably some strung out actor living in the wastelands of Hwood today. Or maybe not. Maybe he's...on the home shopping network? No wait. Seriously. Where did he go!? All I ever see on TV is Mario Lopez, and I thought he was gay, but I guess he's just really tan? But oh, his smile! So white and pearly. And the way he dances!? I really thought we'd be friends one day and just dance the night away, but I guess not. Because I'm driving farther (further?) away from him, and he's still dancing in LA, I bet. By himself or with a friend, who knows? I don't. I just make it up as I go along.

As you can see we are fully equipped. On the road. Driving. Colorado has lots of...farms. We passed through the skiing communities in the mountains, it almost seemed like fun (if you like the cold). Vail. Aspen. Wait, not Aspen. Just Vail. And other places. The land was so green it hurt my eyes (as in it was gorgeous, yes!). Then we ate at this diner and sat on the deck overlooking the Poudre river (pronounced pooh-DUR - very classy, like the French).

I just embarrassed M by saying he used to look like Sir Zachie. He obviously just can't face the facts. In denial, he is. Yes. Hrmm.

I am excited to see M's old stomping grounds. Last time I drove through Oklahoma I only stopped for gas. I'm curious to try some of this BBQ he talks about. I hope we don't get eaten by a tornado. There was a tornado warning in Colorado. It seemed like something that could happen.

Tornado: CHOMP! I'm going to eat you!
Me: No! I haven't seen the woooooorld yet! No! I want to try southern BBQ!

Yup, that's how it would go.
