I remember my dad’s 40th birthday. We were on one of our annual cross country family trips—this time flying. My siblings and I were proud of our work—we had used our limited artistic skills to make my dad wear a black t-shirt that we had decorated with puff paint. Big words that said OVER THE […]

Earlier this year I watched a few minutes of The Aviator, the biopic about Howard Hughes. Hughes is furious after watching the footage from Hell’s Angels which should showcase some of the best flight sequences ever captured on film.

So my wife and I went to a wine and painting class this past Sunday night. It was part of a series of Date Night Adventures we received as a wedding gift. It was fun. Neither of us are really artists. Yes, we each dabbled in photography in college, and I had art as an […]
