For many years I thought that piddle was a word made up by my immediate family. Maybe I thought that was because the only place I ever heard it was within our four walls. Webster's Dictionary defines piddle as follows: "to spend time in a wasteful or trifling way." I always thought trifle was an English sponge cake desert, oh well. The reason we often used cleaned up versions of slightly dirtier words may be because we were Southern Baptists and mom was convinced that the pow

Being a man can be perplexing. I'm sorry, that was not very concise, allow me to reword that. Trying to be a man in a woman's world is difficult. Men are simple creatures who never give a second thought to eating BBQ wings on a white living room sofa without a napkin or tracking red mud on the living room carpet, which by the way is a hanging offense in Oklahoma. Not so long ago I had a conversation at work with a truck driver who told me a tale of getting his hand s
