Some people won't get on board with a cause until it directly affects them. All across the spectrum, from minor sports rules changes to major political causes, this holds true. I was on board with the NFL beginning to heavily fine and suspend players for vicious helmet-to-helmet hits. While I cringed at the sight of some of those hits in previous weeks, particularly those delivered by James Harrison, last night it hit a little closer to home and I found myself hoping that no NFL fan would.......

Malt Liquor Madness By Melissa ldquo;Beer... Now there's a temporary solution. rdquo;-(Homer Simpson) Beer is the oldest alcoholic drink, dating back to 8,000-6,000 B.C.

If you love music (and are somewhat of a music nerd), this one's for you. If you are an avid pop-music listener, and have been for at least the past 20 years, you might have noticed the radical transformations that have taken place in the way we use recordings (vinyl, tape, CDs, and now MP3s). There are many ways to interpret these transformations or ldquo;evolutions, rdquo; but here are a few that I find interesting: The recording as distributable documentation/memory/proxy: it wasn .......

Right now, as we start a new decade and Sergio celebrates 30, that conclusion is not nearly so obvious. ~ I met Sergio Garcia last June at the Travelers Championship. I just walked up to him, expecting to encounter a petulant and self-absorbed brat. Instead I found a warm, gracious, friendly cute, fine, hot, sexy young guy, who if anything, seemed mature beyond his years.The Tiger Woods scandal has shattered many of our old perceptions about the world's number one golfer. I think it may also be .......

Sick and tired of reading everyone's regurgitated trivia, along with their endless attempts to esteem themselves through becoming friends with anyone and everyone, I've opted for what I hope to be a well-written, articulately expressed form of dissatisfaction that will engage you as the reader to share a few opinions of your own. Somewhere along the line of this global and frenzied social marketing explosion, we seem to have lost it. Usually losing it refers to your mind, but.......

Hellos and Goodbyes are a part of life whether we like it or not. But when you think about it they really go hand in hand. Right now we are all saying Hello/Goodbye to something. Maybe you are saying HELLO to: school...a new job...a new town...a new love...a new car...a new car you love~Ha! And with this comes a wave of emotions that are exciting and fresh.

It never fails, every time I set foot on the golf course with Austin I am left with Oh WoW moments. This Wednesday morning was no different and there were several of them. The first one was Austin's start on the opening par 5 hole when he hit Driver, 3 Wood, Sand Wedge, 2 putt and made it look dead simple I have to say that for the first time I just sat and watched and what I saw was what I have to call an amazing golf swing. Oh WoW Next up on hole number 2, one of the 8 year old .......
