I find it hard to describe or pin it down to any particular part of my body, but it is most definitely there. Not so much now; but even little reminders tweak the senses. It can be a song on the radio, a movie on the tube, or my personal favorite, a well crafted work of fiction in the written word.
The founding documents of our democracy talk of certain truths being self evident, but they…
It starts with 1066. You may not know this, but 1066 represents the average monthly income of someone who works full time and earns the minimum wage – as defined by the newly amended Florida Constitution.

Which of the following items do not belong:
1. Lap top computer. 2. Wireless network. 3. All indoor posts to the web site.
If you picked number three, you’re a winner! (Unless, of course, you’re a Yankee’s fan… then you’re still a loser. Sorry.)
Well kids, we’re here to fix you up. I’ve got a covered front porch, a bench, and a folding table (courtesy of…
The owner of our beleaguered little baseball team has more than his fair share of bad press. Whether or not it is deserved is for others to decide. I’m interested in the press release the team recently made available, after Vince was accused of throwing a tantrum in front of a group of fans.

Being late is almost never good, unless you are trying to have a baby. Otherwise, it’s pretty much a drag. The other night I was up late. I even wrote about it. I was up late again last night, once again dealing with a tragic and unavoidable urge to play video games (damn you to hell, Xbox).
The question remains (despite the Xbox scourge), why am I staying up so late? Come with me as I take…
If you are anything like me, you’ve always been a little afraid of “fruit on the bottom” yogurt. It’s one thing to eat something that’s still alive (re: “live and active cultures”). It’s quite another to crack the seal on your yogurt and worry that you might have seen it move. That’s why I’ve been such a fan of Yoplait’s line of…
There are movies I watch where I expect little and receive little. There are movies where I expect a lot and I receive a little. There are movies where I expect a lot and I receive a lot. There are also movies where I expect little and I get a lot.
There are movies where I expect simplicity and I get simplicity. There are movies where I expect complexity and I get simplicity. Are you getting the…
There comes a time in everyone’s life when the bedroom becomes the most precious of sanctuaries. The sweet quiet of night, the warm embrace of sheets, the loving cradle of a mattress, the familiar surroundings, the womb like protection from the outside world, but it all must come to and end sometime.
