  • Kid Play

    I was truly a dangerous kid, likely the Gemini in me. It was to be anticipated though in my opinion. Due to the car-seat arrest, I experienced at an early age, once I outgrew them there was no going back. My poor mother didn’t know what to do with us, two Tasmanian devils. Then restraining…

  • Stunt driver!

    Me — a stunt driver! Sign me up — I would be beyond thrilled! Even if it were just for a day. Let me tear up some rubber and stain the road. Please oh please! I don’t know a lot about cars, you know the mechanics, engineering and monkey grease lingo BUT I do like…

  • Bundled up!

    I’m not a fan of cold weather! It usually takes a while for the temperature to drop in the Carolinas but not this year! Shiver me timbers it’s cold! If you follow me on social media you already know I’ve brought out the gang (big hat, all-weather coat, and rain boots). I could have been…
