This past Saturday, I went on a hot air balloon ride! We went over a mile high, and it was awesome!
My business partner, Chris Tingom, came along (he rode in the other balloon) and he took a video of the experience, and a few photos. I took a video as well, but he beat me [...]
If I ever get down on my luck, I’m totally going to start a business selling “No Soliciting” signs from door to door.

At some point, I’ll eventually get mine all edited and up online for viewing, but that could be a while.
