This is kind of a 2 for 1 food adventure. Back in June I went on kind of a boredom road trip with no real destination in mind. In fact, I don’t know that I really went anywhere. My initial thought was maybe to go to Denison and the Donna… Read More »Big Pizza Pie: Humboldt Field Work

Never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary. Going to transition away from love song to quotes about love for a couple of weeks. No real reason for this other than laziness. But there is a reason why I picked Oscar Wilde. If you think on it, you will… Read More »Not Ordinary
