Right now I would have to say that my top two favorite types of beer are 1) Porter2) India Pale...

I am having trouble typing because I have a big splint on my left middle finger right now. I may have shattered the tip of my finger. I'll know more tomorrow when I go to the Doctor. And I couldn't be happier. I pitched some batting practice to my niece Katilyn and one of her teammates Alli today...

But now that it's nice the fields are drying out, they are starting to play, and I have caught the softball bug.Me and my sister even splurged t...

Barbara Walters just had a special on living to age 150. I watched it. WOW. It sounds a little far fetched but take a guess at how many Americans are 100 or older right now? The answer : Over 84,000. There will likely be over 1 million baby boomers that live to 100. Think about that. You retire a...

 Who wants to impress the crap out of some guests at your next dinner party. Make this. It's easy and they will think you are a pro. I was in charge of Easter dinner this year. I went with a Mediterranean theme and found two fantastic recipes. There is NO reason for you to ever buy store bought h...
