It’s been an age since I last wrote. So much has happened, so I won’t attempt to catch you up entirely. However I will say this, last year I attempted to read 52 books in the year and accomplished reading 53, which it turns out can take a lot of time. I am so eager to share this last crazy…

My Life as a Red Herring (Day 21) Intrinsic
What things can get you out of your seat fast? I’m not necessarily talking about the run to the bathroom because you decided it was a good idea to try out those death-by-sauce wings the other night, or even that spider that decides to charge you while you are sitting comfortably in your living room, I’m talking about that thing that…
My Life as a Red Herring (Day 20) “Picked”
Do kids still play kickball? I can remember in grade-school kickball was the definition of coolness for your grade-school fellows. It mattered that you could kick and run like mad. The first year I tried to play I was all arms in a game that needed legs. I could run but I couldn’t connect my dern foot to the dern ball! So, like…
My Life as a Red Herring (Day 19) “Infinite Delay”
This July I embarked on an epic adventure with five other close friends. In the middle of July I boarded a plane, and then another plane, and then another plane, and I think one more plane…and set off for the big skies of Montana. Our destination? Glacier National Park. Our plan was to backpack for four days and three nights…
My Life as a Red Herring (Day 18) “Free Burdens”
Have you ever spent time away from a loved one? I don’t necessarily mean leaving the house you grew up in for the first time when you went off to college. More like, you got a job somewhere and your wife and kids stayed to get things ready for your move, or your husband, wife, or parent is part of…
My Life as a Red Herring (Day 17) “Flo-town”
I am now a citizen of the great state of South Carolina and live in a small eclectic town called Florence, about an hour from the beach (yep, I KNOW awesome). I found my new Buck-land and it’s a cool little coffee shop called Lula’s. The majority of the proceeds from this place go to pulling women out of the…
My Life as a Red Herring (Day 15) “Sun Rise, Sun Set”
I’m not really sure where to start. I haven’t written anything in a while because all I could think about was what I announced on social media yesterday. It was important to me that team members that I have done life with for a very long time knew first before I announced it publicly so I anxiously waited for the…
Dreams about Driving: 2013 Camaro ZL1 “Working a different Muscle”
Recently I had the opportunity to test drive a few cars. One of them being a car that I wanted to test drive the first time I saw a Motor Trend feature a story on it…the Camaro ZL1. I’ve never had the desire to own a Camaro but have had the chance to drive a number of them over the years…however…
Dreams about Driving: 2008 Mustang GT500 Super Snake
I remember sitting in my backyard with a bunch of friends, waiting for another friend to join us and hearing a deep hum coming from front yard. My first thought was my neighbor must be moving because it sounded like a moving truck idling in front of my house. At that point my phone chirps and it’s the friend I was waiting…
Dreams about Driving: 1983 Honda Civic
One of my first cars was a 1983 Honda Civic. The odometer had stopped working around 183,000 so I’m sure it had somewhere close to 1,000,000 miles…or at least it looked like it did. First off let me say this was not a performance machine or family truckster, and it barely passed as a vehicle, but, it was probably the…
