My Year In Review, Part 1
Who knew back on April 13, 2015, on my very first Born To Talk Radio Show, that I would be writing today on December 6, 2015 with 35 shows worth of experiences to talk about? I’ve gone back and watched those early shows. I have grown during these past 8 months from completely unfamiliar with…

I Call It Art
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, according to Plato. In my world it’s everywhere. As an example, the Wall Art that I saw while visiting Seattle. You can travel all over the world and see what some find offensive and others find delightful. For me, I am always intrigued by the skill and…
