  • A Crew-Giving!

    I hope everyone had a wonderful stress free Thanksgiving…. I spent Thanksgiving flying from one city to the next and then landing in Palm Springs.

    I am sitting in the kitchen as soup and the makings for burritos are on the stovetop and sipping on a vanilla porter. Its rather tasty but besides all of that I am finally relaxed after several weeks (months?) of my jaw being tightened by the stress of passengers. Let me just say that I…

  • If you are thinking about it, you should just do it.

    There once was a time when I would be looking out my window and I would get lost as if a portal of some sort was right there at my window taking me to all these places I’d never been before but wanting to go. Imagining what life was like outside my own house. I…

  • Know what you want
