It’s been a wild, bumpy ride, but somehow we’ve made it to the other side of another session of the Nevada Legislature!

I know I’m a bit late on getting this up, but didn’t want to let it pass without a peep. (Still really jet-lagged and digging my way through the hundreds of e-mails and what-not that piled up while I was in Hawaii. If you’re waiting for a response from me, please be patient.) THE WHITE…

See, I told you I can’t stay away! Getting ready to head out into another day in Hawaii but I wanted to take a moment to talk about body image. After a decade living in Sin City, I have to say that all the T&A and trophy wives have taken their toll on my neurotic…
I have been pounding away at the first-draft of my first book for a solid five months now. To my excitement, surprise and horror, I’m nearly finished with the thing! I only have another section and a half to write before I can officially say that I have finished the first draft of my first…
