Author: Dennis Fassett
I'm pleased to report that after multiple decades of hard-headed stubbornness, I've finally figured out that all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. So I've taken it upon myself to convert my wife and now adult(ish) kids into a roving band of merry adventurers.

I'll tell you about them - and also about the other "adventures" I'm having in my real estate investing business and my day job.
