I have been given a writing assignment by my friend Jason Keeling at A Better West Virginia. OK, maybe it’s not an assignment. It’s more like we’re on a mission.
West Virginia gets a bad rap sometimes. Even the vice president made fun of us recently.
Eh. He’s wrong and […]
While I was in Arizona I had the opportunity to visit the Sonoran Desert. Coming from West Virginia, surrounded by our green hills, I was expecting a dry, dusty, dead looking place.
I was SO wrong. The Sonoran Desert gets more rainfall than any other desert, making it the greenest of all deserts. […]
Tomorrow I’m flying out to Phoenix, Arizona for meetings and training for my new position at Real Estate Shows.
I am SUCH a West Virginia homebody. Aside from trips to visit family in Tennessee and North Carolina, I am HERE. For years and years and years, I have been HERE. I love being […]
I got Meme’d AGAIN – this time by both Rich Jacobson and Marc Grossman. I’m up for it, so here goes:
Who’s your favorite musical artist? That’s a tough one. I don’t even know. I am still listening and learning all the time, and if you’d […]

This afternoon was so pretty that I couldn’t just run right home after work, instead I made a quick detour at Valley Park for a walk with my new camera.

A hot shower and favorite old T-shirt so soft, it is unrivaled by the very finest hotel sheets.
Chocolate at an irresponsible […]
