Taking a road trip with one of your kids is an opportunity you should always take advantage of. I am not saying it is easy to get the time to make it happen or necessarily a flawless, near perfect experience. However, when you have the chance to do it, you ought to. Re...

I have a profound affection for the game of golf. Not just hacking my way down the fairway or chipping around the green but all that golf has to offer.  I delight in the chance to catch up with family or friends and of course taking in the tree selection and the great...

Before there was cyber bullying, there were bad luck chain letters. For reasons unknown some morally deficient individual or group of individuals came up with the notion of sending letters to ordinary folks that promised ill will or destruction to them. It seems crazy...
