I've dropped a lot of weight this week but make no mistake -- it wasn't quality poundage. … Continue reading Who Wants to Be King, Week 2
I was hesitant to do the 10-year challenge thing at first because it's usually just not something I'd normally do anyway but I also figured I'd have a hard time finding a photo that's 10 years old.

On the downside, however, I … Continue reading JTF’s Mount Crushmore, Week 7
