Discovering New Music
Like lots of other people out there, I love discovering new music. Love, Love, LOVE it! I’ve been pretty fortunate to find a whole slew of artists/songs/albums new to me to add to my collection and novel soundtracks.

Best Books of 2015
One of my goals for last year was to read 52 books. So, about 1 book a week. I ended up exceeding that goal by about 4-5 books. Now, when I say I read 52, that means books that I finished. There were TONS more than I started and could not get into. I’m not […]
