There’s the big fluffy coat that turns me into the Michelin Man and I thought would be great in the frigid cold. There’s the bright yellow like the sun Columbia jacket that I use to shovel snow. (Let me be clear, when I say yellow, I mean cover your eyes yellow or you'll go blind.... Continue Reading →
During New York Yankee Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in 1941, the longest in Major League Baseball history, he struck out only five times and had 91 base hits in 223 at-bats for a .408 batting average.

I’m training to be a professional IndyCar race car driver. My wife? She’s become a world renown ballroom dancer. What’s going on? We regularly talk to our kids on the weekends. These conversations are always interesting. However, as empty nesters, we don’t always have a lot to say. They’re the ones doing lots of cool... Continue Reading →
