It wasn't anything s...

My friend Teena sent out her most recent newsletter.
She got the strangest feedback. It asked why Erin had sent such a messed up email.

I am a passionate NFL fan.
Growing up, I was only a casual fan. I remember the first time I watched a full regular season game. I was in high school.

I'm happily married. And have been for over 20 years.
But in high school, I was not a ladies man. I had no game. But that didn't prevent me from trying.
