Appalling Tyler Tannahill

February 16, 2018

Can you say crazy? I am not making this up. Even after the tragedy in Florida, a man running for Congress in Kansas is promoting his campaign with a drawing for an AR-15 Massacre Weapon. Tyler Tannahill, a Marine veteran, announced the giveaway one day before the shooting. He told The Kansas City Star that […]

Contentment

February 16, 2018

There are some people…you probably know a few, who can go with the flow more easily than most. They seem to have a God given ability to treat the ever changing currents of life as if they were coasting slowly along the lazy river at a water park. Oh…to be one of those fortunate souls.

Crunch time

Sixty-two and Forty-four. Jerry West is the Hall of Fame basketball player from West Virginia who made the number 44 famous on the hardwood.

Fear factor

February 13, 2018

Well, The TaTa’s leave for Cabo soon. They have assured us every year that it is a ladies only excursion but a  picture recently discovered in my sock drawer is very alarming.

Defensive assistance

February 11, 2018

Elfrid Payton played well in a loss vs. The Denver Nuggets last night. The Denver players did have a significant advantage although playing away from home. They had six defenders on the court against five for The Phoenix Suns. Yes…Elfrid’s hair has been deemed a defender because who on earth could shoot well with that […]

Creativity

February 8, 2018

My friend owns a snow removal business and has had a hard time retaining employees this season due to our lack of snow. He’s embarked on a new hiring initiative and says it’s working great. The training phase is a bit more extensive but payroll has been cut as dog bones are pretty inexpensive.

Grandiose miscalculation

February 7, 2018

Now this sounds like a grand idea. Let’s show the world our might by having a massive military parade in our nation’s capital.

I mean…c’mon…when you think about parades you’ve witnessed in North Korea and Iran, doesn’t it get your patriotic […]

‘There is vitality, a life force, energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have […]

Reality check

Life is good

February 4, 2018

Dan Lilya had always dreamed of playing football for The Moose Creek Rebels. The only problem…he was born with a severed spinal cord and is paralyzed from the waist down.

JoJo

February 4, 2018

Penny apologized profusely. She had promised to drop off JoJo at 8:00 p.m. as the family was leaving early the next morning for Puerto Vallarta. When the doorbell rang at 9:45, Penny was holding the beloved JoJo who, as you can see, was ready for bed. We’ve now decided to name our dog sitting adventure […]
