billhamp February 28, 2013What was your travellin’ music growing up? I grew up about 45 minutes north of Detroit in Waterford, MI. Every year we would drive to South Florida for Spring Break.

billhamp October 26, 2012For the last 13 weeks we’ve undergone a kitchen renovation. Completely gutted it down to the studs and changed everything.

billhamp October 25, 2012So I was riding my bike down Hwy 30A between Rosemary Beach and Seaside, FL. Flying along that road with no shoulder and lost in my thoughts. I snapped out of my daze long enough to see a black Suburban stopped about 50ft in front of me. When you’re travelling around 22 mph on a Continue reading →
billhamp October 22, 2012Amanda and I are getting away for a few days. Spending some time together just relaxing. I may write a new post or two while gone. I may not.
