    Spaghetti Western

    Wednesday, May 15, 2013

While I typically race in a million different directions, I am literally preparing to head in two very opposite directions (both geographically and culturally) as we are traveling west to Montana and then east to Italy…in all of its pastalicious carbohydrate glory.

    And Tomorrow Starts The Same Old Thing Again

Hyde and Seek

After two and a half weeks in Montana I am back in Austin and it’s safe to say I am having withdrawal.
