Confession: I am a HUGE roller coaster fan! If I hear of a death-defying roller coaster within driving distance, I am usually there pretty soon. Well, I just caught wind of this one! It's in Chicago, so......maybe someday! It's called "GOLIATH!" It's the fastest, tallest, and steepest wooden roller coaster in the world!

I have been asked the same question for several years, "When are you going to start blogging?" I have always had a lot of different answers. "I don't have time." "It's not my thing."
