Where Hershey becomes Frankendog

Hershey got ripped up by some wild animal… it seems it jumped on his back, and he high-tailed it outta there at a high rate of speed.

Wow, I’ve found love. Love, love, love! Man, oh man. I still can’t believe it! After all my hard work and logic, figuring I would order the perfect man for me from the Match.com database, I met a man the old fashioned low-tech way, at a friends’ wedding. Do you believe it?! Continue reading

Adventures at Motorcycle Racing School

I know, I know, I’m such a tomboy.

Go ahead and read the end first:
