It’s why I almost die every time I take a spin class, because they rank your bike numbers by who is pedaling the hardest. Last Friday I took a spin class. It had been 3 months since my last spin class, so I knew I was going to struggle. But sure enough, as soon as the...
We’ve done it again. My wife, daughters, and I are on another adventure. We flew to Scotland over the course of 2 days on 2 red eye flights (something I don’t recommend). [I made this video with my girls about the flight. This is our 4th video/episode we made for a...
