The book that first published in 2003 really deserves a title as The National Bestseller. Bringing the theme of friendship, betrayal, guilt, redemption and the uneasy love between fathers and sons this novel had me thrilled and moved, both at the same time.

From reading the book Switch: How to Change Things when Change is Hard, I decided to write myself a destination postcard for something I have long missed since moving to Reno to attend college; riding a motorcycle to train and compete in the sport of motocross. I was forced to sell my last motorcycle in 2009, seen in the postcard above, when I moved to Reno for college.
