If you do a Google search on Viable Paradise, you’ll undoubtedly come across comments from previous attendees. These comments read like praise of a cult. Fantastic instructors. Awesome staff. Great friends. Believe me when I say this : Every Word Is True. I have learned more in the three days…

Yeah, I’m stretching it on titles for Viable Paradise. Sue me:) My plane lands in Boston at 11:50 am on Sunday. That makes it a little over 72 hours until I’m on Marthas Vineyard. The bag is mostly packed. Actually, it was on Wednesday night. The cat helped out a…

For the fourth year, I got to be a corner worker in turn two of the Rock Island Grand Prix. Corner two is probably the highest speed corner on the course as they hit 90mph when they enter the turn. That makes for awesome passes and some pretty scary wrecks. …

Words cannot express how tempting it was to have this for breakfast this morning. Regrettably, sensible heads prevailed. Thankfully, I now have three dozen mint chocolate chip cookies in which to drown my sorrows.
