My 40 Seconds of Fame
I just realized this is the first ever post on my site with a video of myself included. Exciting times. This post doesn’t hold much value except some entertainment.

Saturday, October 17, 2009
I learned the basics of 3-ball juggling when I was about 13. I’m pretty sure my grandmother signed out an old VHS on learning how to juggle from the local library in hopes to keep my brothers and I occupied. Well it worked. I’m fairly certain any one of us could pick up and juggle [...]

I had an opportunity to get out sea kayaking this summer in Mahone Bay. We took a couple days and did an overnighter on one of the many great islands in the bay, Bella Island. I couldn’t remember the last time I was out kayaking, thinking it had to be at least 5+ years. I must [...]
