When is the last time you did something for the first time?
The good ol’ spring break days – remember them? The one week a year where we roamed free as teens, raising hell on our favorite beaches, without a care in the world. In many ways I still live life as I did back then. Wild and without abandon, but not quite as carelessly. Still as free-spirited,…
