Don't know much about geography...

Day 42 of the unending puppet tour, and we press on.
Somewhere between Missouri and Kansas, I let it slip that I wasn't exactly sure which state was on what side and Matt challenged me to draw a map of the nation. See the thing about geography is... I didn't take it. I thought Oregon was on the east coast until I was 18. So 20 minutes later, I was trying to figure out which 10 states I'd left out of our great nation, and where I could lodge them. Did you know there were so many states that started with the letter M?

We rode a carousel in Missouri and had lunch in Kansas with my cousin Cris and her family, before returning to Nashville for 2 short days. What's great about Nashville is we live there. We have a house and a bed and a kitchen there. After 40+ days on the road, about all you want from a city is a home.
Not to mention friends. Friends that will claim they've never played poker, and then take all your money. Friends that will eat your food and tell you it tastes good. It's all you could want from a city.
We wanted to stay, but this is the price we pay so that children can see puppet shows. Watch this video, and think of the puppeteers across America, sacrificing their poker nights and Saturday morning brunches for the kids.

Funny story about that video. As you can see, when Obama dunks the meatball, it's funny, but not nearly as funny as when Obama falls. Kids LOVE physical comedy, and Matt laces his show with it. But at a recent show, one girl was not amused. She began walking in and out of the performance room, with a concerned look on her face. After several minutes of watching her, the librarian finally asked if everything was okay, to which the young girl replied, "Is he a republican?"

NEXT: OHIO.
