If you know me at all you know that I’m a perfectionist. It runs in my family I would say, and I’ve been that way as long as I can remember. As a kid, I would build elaborate Lego creations following the instructions step by step to ensure that my final piece matched the front […]

One of my favorite movies is Step Brothers. It’s a story of two 40 year old men (Brennen and Dale) still living as children at home with their single parents. When their parents meet they become best friends and are eventually forced to “grow up” and become adults with jobs. At the end of the […]

I do not consider myself a “joiner”. I’m an introvert, so I really like my alone time because it is how I recharge my batteries, my essential daily self care. A couple of months ago, Phillip Jones approached me via text to ask if I would be interested in joining a cycling club. I had […]
