Monday was celebrity day in Logan and Quay County, and Monday night was celebrity night at the Annex Bar and Grill. We’re not usually visited by anyone remotely famous, but on Monday Dean Karnazes and the “Run Across America” team from Regis and Kelly ran (quite literally) into town.

Not so long ago, before I found my true love at the Annex Bar and Grill (I owe them a blog post – best shredded beef burrito smothered in green chile and queso in eastern New Mexico) in Logan, I had the interesting experience of posting a profile on Match.com. As you’ve surely gathered, I live in an extremely small town (pop 1100) and the dating prospects are practically nonexistent.
