I honestly have nothing to write about tonight. All three of us (Josh, Pippi and I) are piled on the hotel bed watching TV after another long day. We travel around 330 days a year, crossing the country multiple times. We visit all types of cities but 90% of the time we are on-duty at... Continue Reading →
The Gift of a Letter
Down time for me is very precious on this tour but so are my friendships.

It's not easy maintaining... Continue Reading →

AAM – Day One
Ahhhh..... I'm comfortably tucked into bed after surviving day one of the convention.

Hold Onto Your Bumper
Everyone thinks that the worst drivers live near them, well I'm here to tell you living on the road I know where the bad ones actually are. Nearly all East Coast city drivers hate trucks and try with all their might to run us off the road but that is in a Semi. The worst... Continue Reading →
