The plane we flew on had the coolest chairs ever because the seat in front of you had a screen on the back designed entirely for your entertainment. You could choose between watching movies, TV shows, or music.… Continue reading Flights and things

From Mark: Smoking
A while back I said in a post there were a few things I wanted to talk about before we left South America. One of them is smoking. I’m not a big fan of smoking. I know a lot of people that smoke. My Dad used to smoke. He quit a long time ago. My… Continue reading From Mark: Smoking
Relentlessly Forward
