I know that sugarcoating reality is often considered positive behavior, but you know that I’m not one to claim to see unicorns and rainbows when it simply isn’t true, so let me tell you how things really are… On October 20th, 2015 I picked up my liquor license and officially opened for business as Lark … Continue reading What I’ve learned from owning a business

10 Things I discovered Columbus Day weekend
Troy has some really nice homes (while running a 5K). Apparently when he isn't playing golf, Donald Trump plays"pussy grabbing." It's a sport that only gets discussed in locker rooms, but is played where ever famous men find vulnerable women. Sounds fun, right? It is possible to check out events in three different counties in … Continue reading 10 Things I discovered Columbus Day weekend

I ultimately decided to … Continue reading Birthday – present, early and late

The race, called the Camp Chingachgook Challenge, was the first road half that I've ever registered … Continue reading A challenge of a run
