Ah Hab A Gold

And I hate it. Well, I mean, I don't know anyone who really enjoys a cold, but I do know a few who enjoy the attention they get when they come down with one. It's pathetic. And since I'm not a hypochondriac or some momma's boy who needs to be babied, not to mention that I have plenty of work to do... Sign in to see full entry.

My fiance is a born optimist and a chance-taker, so, somewhere in the driving, she decides she wants to play the lottery in the states we're passing through. We had already...

Professional Free-For-All

Remember the old joke about going to a fight a hockey game breaking out? Well, it seems that these days it doesn't really matter which sport you choose, some type of multi-person altercation is bound to take place sometime before the game or event ends.

Opinion Or Real News?

There is a growing concern in the country, or so it is being reported, that opinionated news is becoming too dominant.
