I promised you fine people I'd try to stay as far away from politics as I could but there are just too many good stories that go along with being Bill, and they are neither necessarily liberal nor conservative in their humor or their slant. As I see it, Bill Clinton is a misunderstood individual, and I should know because many of the men I grew up with are essentially him in theory. I am here neither to help or hinder the man, I am just here to relate the case study that is h

Anytime I start criticizing an organization as wealthy as the NFL with the truth (as I see it) it makes me a little nervous. But what the...

My wife recently talked me into watching one of those dreaded chick flicks with her. Men usually look forward to these events about as much as a root canal. The name of the movie, in case you are so inclined is called " Me Before You ." To be fair to her it wasn't horrible in that it didn't feel like someone had taken a jack hammer to my #15 molar, although it also wasn't exactly The Grapes of Wrath either. Everyone in this movie was speaking old country English that as an A

I am not really that old, 55ish as quiet as it's kept. Of course, the only time a person that age would be referred to as young is if...

When I was a kid, my cousins were my first playmates. We swam in grandma's muddy pond, tried to see if we could bring down our uncle's rope swing, and for some weird reason one of us always felt the need to get naked. There was never any hanky-panky going on mind you, there was just one particular cousin I had that had an affliction for taking his clothes off, although nobody really seemed to know why. I of course, will be changing the names to protect the innocent and I will
