I am going to start off with an admission. I don’t play poker with any frequency. It’s more like a leap year event. I do poker slot machines and once on over $700 on a few quarters. That sure felt good. But I’m not here to write about […]
I feel like I may have said this before. I feel like I have written a 1,001 variations on this theme. I feel like I should really adhere to this sound advice. Look, try the best that you can to surround yourself with people who push you to […]
As I start to pack for my upcoming trip, I have been reminded of how often I pick the wrong line. For instance, I have TSA precheck, but even then I get on the wrong side when the line splits. A few weeks ago everything was zipping right […]
I was listening to my iPod, while walking in this extreme heat. I have this silly goal of 10,000 steps each day. Even in this heat. Sigh. I’m too committed. Anyway, there I am walking, listening to music when Bananarama’s song Cruel Summer comes on. I stopped mid-step […]
