I spent some time this week in [tag]Memphis, Tennessee[/tag], and drove by but didn’t go in, [tag]Graceland[/tag]. It looks pretty much the same as it must have when Elvis and Priscilla lived there. What is stiking about it mostly, is how small it is. It is not much bigger than a small town rambler set [...]

This is a story about a regular guy, who like most of us, sometimes questions his existence, measuring himself to others, not believing enough in his abilities or his worth. Then one day, his passion outgrew his fears as he stepped onto a stage, stopped doubting himself and rose to the occasion. Watch the faces [...]

I had a feeling that she might have some interesting advice for helicopter parents. She does. It is always interesting to get real world feedback from my [...]

Note: At the Air Force Academy, part of our training was that we had to fly (as passengers) in every AF airplane. One plane, however, was off limits and that was the SR-71. If memory serves, we could barely get close enough to even touch it, it was so classified. I did get to break [...]

Mr. Whipple, of Don’t Squeeze the Charmin fame, died today—he was 91. He was replaced nearly twenty years ago by those stupid cartoon bears on Charmin’s TV commercials, who always gross me out. I can ask “does a bear s@#!s in the woods,” but I don’t need a cartoon, graphic re-enactment of it to influence [...]
