Regardless of that, you’ll see that my blonde-haired, blue-eyed daughter was incredibly excited to dress up as Mulan for Halloween. At the time, I thought that was a pretty cool choice. You see, Frozen had come out just a…

The rumors are true—while cleaning out my bonus room I found my saxophone hidden under a pile of children’s toys. Figured I might as well use it. As a result, I’m playing with the Jeff Jensen Band this weekend at the Slippery Noodle on Friday and Saturday nights. We hit at 9:00 PM and go…

Please welcome TTAC writer and my racing teammate, W. Christian “Mental” Ward, to Riverside Green. He has a story to tell you — JB I have always been a two-wheel enthusiast. I get it genetically. My Dad rode, heck, even my mother rode. My brother used to ride. I just enjoy motorcycles. I have almost…

Starting tomorrow, your friend, Bark M., is the official Facebook Live ambassador for American Endurance Racing. (Full disclosure: yes, they’re paying me to do this.) Set your alarms to stun for 3:00 PM Eastern tomorrow as I broadcast live from the AER Facebook page. I’ll be giving you the scoop on America’s best amateur racing…
