Snow Expedition
So as most who live in Texas know, there were record snows last week. There was also snow in 49 of the 50 states. Staring at the snowfall from my studio, I felt that I was wasting my day, as well as missing out on the powdery precipitation. So I suited up with some of [...]

A few summers ago, I spent a handful of days in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe between filming assignments. In that charming, but unlikely place, I met a beautiful young woman named Claire.
