VDB has a posse
The year was 1998. I was 29 years old, a handful of years out of college, and working in a bike shop as a mechanic. The woman who was to become my wife and I lived with our two dogs in a nice little three bedroom ranch house we bought in Tempe, Arizona. I was Read the full article…

One nut, seven Tours, no steroids
I got this in February. Really. It was buried in a draft folder for months. Hey, I’ve had a busy summer! I’ll get it cleaned up, I promise. Right after I sort out the garage. Which is an absolute train wreck. I digress… Thought you’d enjoy the billboard that went up across NZ yesterday. It’s Read the full article…
