Amazing Race

Yup . . . I also did a video submission. As I mentioned in the last blog post, Jamie Fellrath and I do the podcast for the BeingJamesBond.com website – but we’ve never met in person. So we did a Skype video, hoping to play on the fact that Amazing Race …

Today was the day! The Amazing Race came to San Francisco to do in-person tryouts today. I read obsessively what I could about the intakes on various blogs, and peppered my cousin Christopher (who has tried out for Amazing Race 2x and Survivor 2x) with …
