You're Amazing But... I'm going to take a break.
Dear Readers:
You’re amazing. Thanks for reading along, commenting, and sending in pictures of dinosaurs!
But… I’m taking a break to regroup.

Heading to Nashville
I’m heading to Nashville with a few of my favorite ladies for a roadtrip to visit another favorite lady.
So far we are planning on karaoke somewhere.

I’ve been riding bike to work for the last few weeks, since the weather turned (mostly) consistently warmish.

America's Best Cities for Hipsters →
As ranked by Travel + Leisure in perhaps the most asinine ranking system ever.
They used: Live music (you, know anything from the orchestra to cover bands to major music venues), coffee bars, independent boutiques, microbrews, offbeat-ness, and tech savviness.
