  • 2021: A Year In Books

    I don’t normally make New Years resolutions, but with 2020 the way that it was, I wanted to enrich my mind. So I decided to challenge myself to read twelve books in a year, one book per month. Well, I surprised myself and read DOUBLE that. Now, no one wants to read my reviews of Read more

  • Batir we go to EarthX!

Turns out it’s a a really good restaurant serving creative, fresh, and Read more
