A moment in the past is stoned into my melon, “Students, you’re average attention span is 7 seconds” bellowed the professor of humanities in 2012. I was stunned to hear this realization. But a google search reveals it’s 8.25, just under a goldfish; classic over sell! But what does it take to be heard in …
Tomorrow the sun rises on the 14th day of February, Valentines Day, with spin from the Earth love is on people’s waking mind a little more than usual. Colorful bouquets of red roses clutter desks of co-workers as the single eyes the love in a form all can see. This kind of gratification is more …
Groundhog’s Day has past and signs of lush vegetation have popped their heads up in North Carolina, thoughts of pristine greens and fairways ping in a duffers head transporting themselves to a tee time.

The polar vortex didn’t deter over 100,000 Iowan’s from participating in democracy but the disenfranchised remain the foundation for former President Trump, securing 51% of the vote. Governor …
Last year I decided on recording my wins, losses, ideas, goals, and general well-being on the white board but then transcribing them. At the time I thought this would help me understand what was really going on with myself. I mean my own handwriting wouldn’t lie but my mind… So the time has come to …
Last Sunday in the rain against a Justin Fields led Bears team the Orange and Brown prevailed with what Sam L. would refer to as divine intervention in 1994. “Are you saying the hand of God came down and stopped those bullets Jules,” the comeback snarked in disbelief in what was a motion picture.
