Hi, GSD Factor friends!  R.C. Farrish here!    I love sports! I love playing sports and I play a lot of them. I also love watching sports with my family.   I play softball, basketball, flag football, karate, swimming, running and I’m learning to ice skate.   Right now it’s basketball season and this has […]

Well, here we are again, staring December 31 right smack, dab in the face.  Every year, I find myself thinking, “Whew this year flew by!”  I realize that there are the same amount of hours in each year, but I’ve somehow convinced myself that time seems to move faster every year.  Either way, around this […]

R.C. and I are teaming up this month on our blog. We thought it would be fun to share with you the behind the scenes around our co-authored book GSD Factor Juniors.    R.C., what are your top three favorite things that you got to do with this project?   Illustrating the first ninja Recording […]
