“H is for…. Hungry” – Travis Ware A Portrait of One Cool Guy I met Travis at an old place of employment. It was his first day, and the poor thing was paired with me as his trainer. We were destined to be the best of buddies, known instantly when he phonetically read back the […]

Don’t feel crappy, just get crafty! (I pulled out THAT much cheese just to make […]
