Are you excited to watch the Oscars this Sunday? I have three more movies I would like to see and not enough hours in the week! You all know how that is, right? Well, I probably won’t get the chance to see any more films this week unless they are showing one on my plane [...]

In the last year or so, I’ve been a single guy searching, of course, for my long lost love. I wanted to touch base on something that may be happening more and more as the social networks and dating sites become ever more popular. I joined a dating site (that will remain nameless) about a [...]

It’s time to talk with your kids about game safety. No, I don’t mean checking before swinging a bat or wearing protecting gear in a football scrimmage.
