I am writing this evening with a very full belly. A very full, very happy, hot-dogged belly. And since it’s my first (proper) hotdog in…
I decided to treat myself to a manicure before the Edinburgh Whisky Fringe more than five weeks ago and was talked into trying out the gel manicure…
It seems that my dating life is of great interest to folks these days – just like it was before I was married. In fact, the vast…
I spent yesterday truly remembering my childhood and the joys of growing up redneck. And it was great. Well, except for the literal red neck that…
I have had the worst luck with my 2013 Race a Month Challenge. In fact, I knew a couple of months ago that the odds of success…
Today I got to play on the air with Steve and Rob at KXLE Radio – the best country station in all the land! It was such a…
