…tossing a coin is fairly tough under pressure. As I practiced this art on the sidelines of the UK/Florida game last weekend, I realized that this may in fact be one of those things that I’m just not that good at(which joins the list with trying to do a ‘cool wave’ to celebrities). We (myself, […]

and what a fine crop to be the queen of.  I made my way back down to Union County this weekend for the annual Corn Festival in my hometown(in which ‘queen of our crop’ was the theme)…this time as the Grand Marshal!  This weekends events began in Lexington at the POW/MIA ceremony at the VA […]

My new bros Timmy and Dierks. Lee Brice is cool as ice… Gabe Garcia(Nashville Star), H2H, and Danielle Peck. Coach Brooks Keith Anderson and Coach Brooks Again(couldn’t get enough of him).
