It’s 2022. Small talk is dead.
Perhaps you disagree. But before you immediately turn your nose up at my sentiment, think of your version of “small talk.” It’s probably not the tell-tale version of it. I’m not talking about a...
My family and I have recently gotten into mountain biking. We are lovers of the outdoors so it was our next logical step. Since we have two young boys we are constantly looking for an outlet for their energy....
