Cold and flu season is hopefully far behind us, but that doesn’t mean we can let our guard down 100%. With the various mutations of different strands of germs flying around these days, I want to keep myself as germ-free as possible. Being a father of five childred, four of which ride a schoolbus and [...]

With the latest craze of mp3’s at the turn of the century, it is hard to remember back to when I used to sneak into my brother’s bedroom, swipe some of his vinyl records, and record them on a cassette tape labeled “mix”. I know, I am really dating myself. And if I think about [...]

I played a lot of golf in my time. That was, of course, before the day I got married. Since then, life has been so busy with kids, sports, and daily routines that I wouldn’t dream of giving up to play anything, let alone golf. But when I think back to what I enjoyed most [...]
