Day 6 I found myself heading to a place I had long wished to see. The City of Jerusalem beckoned, and I finally came. First I got a chance to explore the Old City. The place was steeped in cultures of the many nations that had risen and fallen within the area of the City. All it really takes is
Day 5 began at the Bedouin Tents, but we did not stay there long. Before the sun had even risen, we were on our way to the next destination. The mountaintop of Masada. Looking for a personal challenge, I ran up the mountain with a backpack that I intentionally put weight inside of. Adding to the challenge was that the

Today I embark on the journey of a lifetime. Today I will be driving south to Miami to catch a plane to the holy land Israel. My Birthright Trip begins today! I will be doing my best to chronicle my trip on my blog, and in a perfect world I would write a post for each and every day

MOBAS are an unusual game. People spends hours day after day getting better at the games but they also must contend with teammates who may or may not also be doing the same thing. This of course as the games have become famous for at this point, leads to toxic gaming communities. As a result of this negativity, I
I know I am late as your birthday was yesterday, but I wanted to take some time to wish my Brother Scott a Happy Birthday. I know we don’t talk as much as we used to. But that’s inevitable when we live more than 12 hours from each other and both of us have quite busy lives. Still, I
