Over the last month I have been doing a lot of art festivals. And while it’s exhilarating and fun and exciting and uplifting (for the most part), it’s also a lot of work.

It Only Takes One Shot
Golf isn’t my God-given gift, but I love to golf. I haven’t done it for a while, because I know my obsessive self.
