I have a dream. Actually, I have lots of dreams and most of them involve me walking on the red carpet and doing Entertainment Tonight interviews about my latest CD/Movie/TV show. But I have simpler dreams. And one of those dreams involved taking a trip. A driving trip to the north. I google- mapped it earlier this summer.

Can you tell where it goes? That’s right Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, baby! Why Devil’s Tower? Let’s just say that the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind had a huge impact on my young life when it first came out.  I was alien crazy and even started making my own Project Blue Book.  I read everything I could put my hands on about alien encounters and I had the Close Encounters book, the soundtrack, the audio re-enactment (stupid) and even the diary book written by the guy who played the interpreter/cartographer on the movie (the great Bob Balaban).  But more than anything else, young Todd wanted to do was to visit Devil’s Tower and see this gorgeous geological aberration in person.

I think it’s time for road trip!
