A few years ago I was on a business trip to Los Angeles and one night the group went out to dinner to the House of Blues, which happens to be owned in part by Dan Akroyd. We all piled out of our cabs and composed ourselves before we walked towards the front of the…
I Want To Be Free
Yesterday I wrote a facebook post saying that because of some minor health issues that I would be backing away from social media until I’m healed. My mom taught me that often healings happen quicker if a ton of people didn’t know about the details so I was intentionally vague in that post. I did…
