I wanted to include video I shot with this post, but that will have to wait until later. I did include someone else’s file at the bottom and will add my own to a new post when I get it edited. An amazing thing happened earlier this week – I went to a rock concert. […]
As each day gets us closer to Christmas, I enjoy this season more and more. Not the season of giving or the season of celebrating. The season of annoying people who don’t like Christmas or things associated with this time of year. Now I know some people may have real and legitimate reasons for dreading […]
One summer in college, I went to Los Angeles to spend the week with a few friends. One of them helped open my eyes to the many wonderful uses of peanut butter. I had only believed that you could use peanut butter for sandwiches and crackers until this point. Shawn showed me that it could […]

I have been on the road the last few days for work, attending a conference in Indianapolis. As is my custom when I travel. I tried to limit myself to new beers on the trip. The only time I had to change from that strategy was at the Indiana Pacers game I went to one […]
I had hoped to harness all my blind rage yesterday into a post about the news that CBS has paid jackass, blowhard, tough guy ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd to do a TV show based on his life.
