College Sports Fans (MM #1753)

I’m not the biggest sports fan, not like I was in my younger days, but I’ve always wondered something about college sports fans. Why are the BIGGEST fans the least connected to the school?

Climbing Stairs (MM #1752)

I’ve always hated climbing stairs. Maybe it started in my younger days when we used to have to run the stairs during basketball practice. I do know that my years playing basketball are part of the reason I have a big issue with stairs today…

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’ve always dreamed of being a jet setter. You know what I mean. The kind of person who always has a plane on standby waiting to travel to amazing places. But I’m just a simple guy, so my jet setting tends to be a bit tame. But I do have a…

Good Riddance (MM #1745)

Out with the old and in with the new. We say goodbye to 2015. And many, including me are saying good riddance. Last year was a rough one on many levels for me and for many others. But I’ve got my ‘half-full’ glass sitting here and ready ready for a great 2016…
