Call Now! Don’t Delay!
It doesn’t happen often, but on occasion, when I am in deep thought about all the important, life altering work I’m doing right now, I watch a little daytime television. If you want to know the state of our culture, … Continue reading
Cuppa’ Dan
Believe it or not, Dan loves it when he is the subject of my blogs, and was tickled that I fleshed out the whole Romans catching lions thing. When I asked him what I should blog about next he suggested I … Continue reading

A Fish By Any Other Name
Everyone who knows me knows that I am an extremely picky eater. I hate onions. I don’t eat stuff that has bits of things because who knows what’s in there. I don’t like any kind of Asian food whatsoever. All … Continue reading
From Bad To Worse
You know that I’m always keepin’ it real here people, so no matter how hard, the truth must be told. We stayed at a Best Western “Hotel” last weekend. It worked well with our budget but was an affront to … Continue reading
When The Chips Are Down
