Age is relative. For instance, to my mom, I’m young while to a twenty-something, I’m old. Either way, when you hit 40, you’re in the back nine, and since my dad died at 63 from a second heart attack (he won the first round), there’s a good chance I’m not getting in a full 18. If you didn’t get … [Read more...]

It’s like how kids share more with their friends … [Read more...]

My daughters are one and three, so talking about sex won’t be for awhile, but my plan is to do more than my parents did. Fortunately, that won’t be hard – nothing isn’t hard to beat.
