I’m Walking the Red Carpet for SOLO: A Star Wars Story #HanSoloEvent

I have a good feeling about this. Then again, it’s hard not to have a good feeling about a special Disney Blogger Trip.

Yep, I’m making the jump to lightspeed and walking the red carpet for the upcoming SOLO: A Star Wars Story! I still remember playing with my …

Tobacco Free #SeenEnoughTobacco

ABC TV Deception

Some of my favorite childhood memories involve joining my dad in Manhattan for work. Every once in awhile he’d either have a day off or it’d be a weekend and the two of us would head into the Big Apple.
