About skippio
We are Fritz and Barbie. Barbie wanted her name to be first, but then everyone would expect my name to be Ken.
Chances are that I will be doing the writing on this site with imput from the the better half. There will be the usual twisted humor, off beat travel pieces and a host of other unusable tidbits of the world as seen through my somewhat critical eyes. I have a long love it/hate it list because I'm usually pretty ambivalent about things. Annoyances: people who don't use turn signals; LITTERING (find a trash can for pete's sake); the fake smiles plastered on Wal-Mart Greeters; real-estate agents and used-car salesmen with slick hair and greasy smiles; musicals; compulsive cell phone users; insanely large SUVs; professional sports; collegiate sports; mullets; telemarketing calls & junk mail; chihuahuas (aka Ratdogs); ticks and other bloodsucking creatures; Jack Chick tracts; and dogs that bark all night.

Good stuff: long drives to nowhere in particular; Blue Bunny Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream; good books; the Internet; the snap of a mousetrap at three o'clock in the morning; freedom; coffee; the ongoing search for the perfect Indian restaurant; Kansas; cows; and trees.

My Supper List (those fine epinionators with whom I'd like to chat over a good meal):
kevlog (the first brave soul to trust us!!), amerpie, Howard_Creech, craigmoosh, muttgirl, elusive_blonde, mrmazda, YYvonne, zoey123, Grouch, mridula, SMITHSWOODSIDE, mattjoe, CurtisEdmonds, slick4591,1947, brixius, WaltLockley, AllyMcBeal, Steve_NC, ed_grover, Nathanael73, NFP, cyndilouwhoo. (this list is far from complete, and I will be adding others in the future. Heck, if I ever get really bored one night we'll even link to their profiles.)
