I’m closing in on ten years representing a quarter of my lifetime. It’s crazy to think that ten years ago we only had one kid (we now have four) and were driving him around in a 2005 Toyota Tacoma. In the past ten years, I’ve left my career as a middle school teacher, starting my…

comments
Who wouldn’t want to wander around a shop with a Pagani Huayra Roadster in the cart? The best part of the factory was this though; a very Italian man nonchalantly pushing a multi-million pound Huayra Roadster around like he’s collecting shopping trolleys at ASDA.
