See what I did there with that title? Well it worked, right? Got you here, anyway… If you’ve never tasted the wonderful nectar of the gods that is sweet tea, then boy, do I have a treat for you. I’m going to teach you how to make the best sweet…
A year and a half ago, I had a post detailing my first time on stage as an adult and how enjoyable the entire experience was. I don’t think I ever wrote a follow-up but the play went over well and audiences responded very positively! I made and still have many friends…

At the beginning of this year, as I mentioned a few posts ago, I was involved in a play that required me to be away from the house every weeknight for almost two months. Needless to say this put somewhat of a burden on my wife’s shoulders and everything was…
