Work, work, work…that’s all I ever do here. Take this week for example, I’m in Dallas till Wednesday on a press check. Traditionally, that means lots of waiting around, really late and/or all night checks, and sleeping on floors.
And man it’s been rough. Yesterday, I woke up leisurely at 8:30, ate a room service breakfast [...]

Got to Dallas last night around 9:45. Flight was quick and easy (like your mom). Not the most comfortable in the world though. I was in the middle. The dude next to me took up 1.3 seats. The tiny lady next to me didn’t, but sat with he legs crossed the whole flight, jamming her [...]

This was not just like any other Hilton Head Island trip. We were there for a very special occasion this year. My grandma turned 90 years old this year. And I absolutely guarantee you she’s in better shape than you. That’s right, at 90, she’s in better shape than you are. She rides bikes every [...]

My apartment is approximately 43 square feet. It can accommodate a maximum of 1.2 people comfortably. It’s just fine for me. Jami and I together is a tight fit. And anyone else thrown in is just ludicrous. Most of the time it’s fine, but there’s one major pro and one major con to the size [...]

I love me some pumpkin pie and turkey & gravy. Like more than average. Like even today, I’m still eating my leftovers. From Thanksgiving. Two weeks later. The pumpkin pie really resembles more of a pumpkin gelatin, with a texture that doesn’t occur in nature. The once moist and delicious turkey is now dryer than [...]

In my whole tenure at Spin, I hadn’t taken one vacation yet. Not one. Oh sure, a sick day here and there, and a day off for La Piazza del Arté when that was goin down, but other than that, I’ve been a very studious little worker. I guess in the back of my head, [...]

Part 2 of 3: On Becoming Wolken
We had a good night’s sleep. I got a mattress on the floor of Jami’s old room. With a cool breeze and three fans pointed right at me. Now THIS is vacation. We get up and take another four wheeler ride, this time to check out a creepy [...]
