Every year I help run ‘the family business’, Hogrock! My father-in-law has been running this biker rally for over 20 years. I’ve been helping run the front office for 5-6 years. I take vacation from my real job to go work at this one. Some might say this is a horrible waste of time. Over …

Was Max’s Red Rider BB Gun able to keep us alive? One of my favorite television shows is Alone. It pits man against nature one on one. The Dean Men decided that we would test our abilities and go out into the wild to test our mettle! We prep our gear, shoot guns, ride bikes, …
NOTE: I originally wrote this for my kids back in 2015. Ask anyone who the greatest songwriter of all time is and I guarantee that John Lennon and Paul McCartney wind up in the discussion. Most important musical act of all time? Same thing I guarantee The Beatles are in that discussion. When I look …
