Onboard the Mar Mostro
jamesnord:
We had the completely insane opportunity to compete in a Pro-Am race aboard Puma’s 6 Million Dollar, carbon fiber Mar Mostro race boat. These boats are the fasted in the world (can reach speeds of 45MPH +) and are manned by the best sailors alive. It was exhilarating, exhausting and really just a whole lot of fun. Tomorrow they will do some sprint races and then leave for stage 3 of...

HIGHLIGHTED LIFE: ON FATHERHOOD →
I posted a small note the other day about my Father, but I wanted to share a story that, as an adult, amazes me.
In high school, wrestling was incredibly important to me. I was captain of the team for 3 years and my parents had to put up with me constantly doing drills in front of the TV at…

Things To Do In A Southern Sun
jamesnord:

You wear it as a jacket. When you walk into a cool store or government building you can feel it come off. First the fingers stop burning, then your arms, slowly you feel the sweat starting to dry off your...
