It's that simple. In the last fifteen years, I've averaged at least 10 trips out of town a year, and in many of those years, I'd say it's been twice that many. I've traveled to other cou...
I think I manage to come across as fairly articulate on the podcast, which is a miracle since I frequently feel like I'm a marble-mouthed goofball. For example, you'd think I would be able to say the name of my ...
