Life’s A Beach – The Second Leg of Our Epic Family Road Trip

We were headed out of Jackson with a mission of getting the heck to the beach fast by 8 a.m. We skipped Shoney’s breakfast buffet, which is not something we’d typically do when given the opportunity. And something that my brother I’m sure would think blasphemous. We didn’t tell him it was an option though …

Graceland, New Orleans and Spare Keys

When I was 12 I had the Use Your Illusion CD. I loved Guns ‘N Roses. I really loved Axl. He was everything a preteen with surging hormones needed to keep an active imagination busy. But when my mom gave a listen to it, the CD found its way to the top shelf of her …

The craziest thing I’ve ever done, By Lindsey Johnson

In our house growing up there were two mottos: “Oh, don’t be a weenie.” and “People die that way.” So we of course developed a healthy yet conflicted appetite for adventure. I have cliff jumped. I have scuba dove. I have been drug across lakes by a boat going 50 miles an hour strapped to …
