A Hunting We Did Go

It wasn’t long before my short Thanksgiving break that I was invited to go hunting with my brother in-law, Mike. The message was relayed from wife to wife and I accepted the invitation before my most gorgeous bride was able to complete her sentence. The answer was “yes” I was more than anxious to go [...]

“I Know Kung Fu. Show Me.”

I have a bunch of new respect for our current sitting President, G. Dub.  With Matrix-like reflexes he dodged a quick salvo of Zappos while answering questions in Baghdad, Iraq, this morning.  Who knew the ‘W’ stood for “Neo”?

‘Swede in the Middle East’ or ‘This Makes Me Olaf Out Loud’

Other than the mind-boggling accent and their general quirky nature – I love the Swedes! You know, people from Sweden, the creators of all that is IKEA, meatball perfectionists… they are cool – and they scare easy too! Now it is a little known fact that not too long ago I took a part time [...]
