I never check the news when I am travelling. My normal routine is disrupted, I am busy doing exciting things, and so I often will come home to find out that there has been some sort of major event, natural disaster, celebrity death, or presidential election while I was away for the week and I […]
It’s a Pizza… Covered in Fritos!
I couldn’t resist. I love trying new things. Yes, most new things are terrible, but I have to try them. Root beer flavored Oreos. Grape candy corn. Cheeseburgers made of turkey. All disgusting. But I have tried them. So it should come as no surprise then, that when I open the Papa John’s website to […]

Pizza Ninja
As a pizza ninja, I am in possession of a wide array of skills, such as pizza twirling, dough stretching, and mop fighting, but nowhere do my skills come into play more, than when I am out on a delivery. When you are in the field, you have to stay alert at all times, as […]
