College football begins in less than a month. Wow. I still haven’t been consoled or reconciled with the outcome of last season. We started the first more-than-half of the season at 5-3. Not bad. I had attended three of those games, once with my folks, once with my brother, and once with my wife. My… Continue reading Can’t Believe It’s That Time Again

May is the birthday… Continue reading On Birthdays
