A very good buddy named Bruno related a story yesterday. He hit 85 balls on the driving range as the weather warmup up a bit. After a two month break of no golf, he said he ‘striped’ all but two of his shots. For you non golfers, that means he hit shots that looked like […]

Can you name this very young tennis player? Yes, he will be playing in The Australian Open singles final this weekend. With all of the talk of the new breed of up and coming male players, the finalists this week made them feel as though they were the age of this picture.

Relief from cable news

January 21, 2019

Hallelujah….2019 is here and my commitment is steadfast. I’ve eliminated all cable news from the daily menu and what a relief. No matter what side you favor, they…and, for that matter regular national news channels,  are universally ‘agitation stations’ that leave you jaded if watched often enough.
