This Christmas might be one of the rare occasions where I’m actually looking more forward to seeing others open the presents I gave them rather than the presents that were given me. I think the little boy inside me is finally growing up a little. One of the things I had planned to do for…

I can’t believe I’ll be leaving already in a mere week. I’ll be prepping Hidalgo (my ride) with a wash and wax this weekend, then start some early packing. I get home from work around 9PM the night before, so I’ll have to hit the ground running early next morning to make good time. Originally…

What do we even call 2000-2009 anyway? The Zeros? The Single Digits? “The decade that just piled on with so much crap that not even the smelliest crap could have crapped as much crap as this crappy decade crapped on me?” Well, whatever.
