Getting Out Of Place in a Race Car {VIDEO}
One of the many great things about this blog is that my friends sometimes invite me to do crazy things because (1) they know I'll likely say yes and (2), if I do say yes, I'll post them here on the blog. A close friend...
What It’s Like to Be a Gate Agent in Atlanta
When we fly, a Gate Agent is the face of our airline. This is the person who lets us on the plane, our link between the ground and the sky. It turns out there's a lot more to the job than telling you to consolidate...

What do you do when you visit Chicago? Nope. I drive to Milwaukee. You see, my pursuit of seeing new places has reached a near-fever pitch. It draws the question: What are you looking for? A question I'll pose to the...
