I was recently talking to a friend of mine about the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Every Memorial Day our family celebrates with a trip to northeast Iowa…God’s country. I couldn’t pick a better place to reflect on that holiday! Northeast Iowa is the most overlooked part of the state in terms of history and...

Ok, I can't help but laugh at this.  I've got a great week ahead of me with my first trip to Wrigley Field to watch the Chicago Cubs close in on their magic number which is currently 7. We've had this trip planned since February 23rd when the regular season...

Ok, this is so ridiculous I don't even know where to begin. Apparently Jessie Jackson has no other pressing business in the black and minority communities so he's decide to try and help Terrell Owens. I assume most of you already know my position on all this. The only thing I...

You've all heard about it by now. Terrell Owens was runnin' off at the mouth again and this time he managed to get his ass effectively dismissed from the Eagles. First, let me be the first to remind some of my friends that I was the first one to recognize that when Keyshawn Johnson...

That\'s right, didn\'t take long did it? Well, reality struck. I finally got my game down to a consistent pattern of low 90\'s and realized in order to get better I\'d have to at least hit balls three times a week. That clearly isn\'t compatible with having two kids under 3...
