Well, a day I have been stewing over for a few weeks now is finally upon me. This morning at the pre-dawn hour of 8am, my car goes in to have the wrapping removed. It’s a choice I didn’t make lightly and driving the yodelmobile will be a memory I will cherish for a long time to ... Continue Reading
As many who follow my twitter feed know, I went to SXSW this past weekend flying to Austin, TX on US Airways.
