Is UCONN Bad for Women’s Basketball? You know what I’m not watching right now, even though I love sports and hail from the otherwise unnoteworthy state of Connecticut?

Your Kid Doesn’t Need a Damn Cellphone
Your Kid Doesn’t Need A Damn Cellphone I almost always laugh at the response I get when I tell people I am an only child. Folks usually just give me one top-to-bottom glance and suggest in a nonchalant voice, “Huh, I should have figured.” What is it that marks me so obviously as the byproduct […]

Things My Kids Will Never Know…. Do you how you know you’re getting old? You write an online blog that is highly successful amongst the key buying demographic for most American broadcasters (read as: people with the money and who actually spend it, i.e 40-60 year olds), largely because you generally come off as […]
