“Life is adventure, you know, some of us like to do it that way. It’s an adventure for everybody. Some people don’t realize it. Some people think that they are in control but they’re not.”
Ben Cohen

“You end up going on a journey that you would never experience otherwise. You don’t really know where it’s going to go, and for me I would never do things like that. You know, going along with Ben brings you to places that you couldn’t imagine.”
Jerry Greenfield
