What is it with Beagle Man and my freakin’ bowls? Has he told you yet, very modestly, that to pull off a trip like this, with all the miles of driving, and the sight-seeing, and the visiting, and the blogging, and staying in a different motel every night, you have to be really efficient and Read More
So we’re back in Santa Monica, staying at the Hotel California this time. Right next door to the Loews. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t we just leave Santa Monica on Wednesday? Only Beagle Man could come up with an itinerary like this one. And I thought I’d made it pretty clear I’d had Read More
I cannot wait to tell you about one of the stupidest comments I’ve ever heard! Beagle Man says the kid must have been super drunk. Robby’s sure he was high. I just think he was really, really dumb. Anyway, B-Man and I had just reached the USC campus at about 6 o’clock Friday night, after Read More
I’m not really sure if there’s any logic to the connection between how the Jets do on the field and how I get treated — but it’s sure as hell there! On Sunday, when Tampa Bay had all but stuck a fork in the Jets, Beagle Man was giving me zero treats, was late on Read More
I’ve been meaning to address this for a long time: I don’t know why Beagle Man treats me like fine china. It’s nuts. Two years ago, on LA/XC-1, he wouldn’t carry his stuff from the car to the motel room without keeping me right alongside him on the leash. Last year he got the brilliant Read More

* * * COUNTDOWN: 6 DAYS TO LA/XC-3 * * * I was gonna tell Beagle Man that he left out a pretty important detail from yesterday’s post — how we’re gonna get back from L.A. after delivering the Pathfinder to Robby — but two readers beat me to the punch. (Thanks, Bill and Mary. Read More
* * * COUNTDOWN: 31 DAYS TO LA/XC-3 * * * Okay, it may not be as awesome as Beagle Man’s Dog Bark Park Inn, but here’s the place I really want to go. Which probably means we won’t. Sure, I get to write whatever I want in the Roof Rack Report — but the Read More
Comments Off on The (New) Official Vehicle of LA/XC-3
For reasons not entirely clear to me, Beagle Man and the missus got rid of the trusty old Acura MDX that carried us across the country and back in comfort and style not once, but twice — and that I fully expected would be our vehicle for the upcoming LA/XC-3 — and replaced it with Read More

Every Friday this summer I watch Beagle Man packing up the car. The big green duffel. Mrs. B’s red, flowery overnight bag. B-Man’s backpack. The blue beach bag with the RKH on the side. And then, they pat me on the head, say, “Bye-bye, Cutey” . . . and take off without me! Talk about Read More
