Why the vegetarian experiment? Why would a 50 year old definitely meat eating country boy decide to try meat free? As is often the case with me, there’s more than one reason for trying it.

So The Plumber told me the other day I should take a look at The Game Changers on Netflix. The TL;DR version is: professional athletes that switched to vegetarian or vegan diets and had good success. Yeah, I’ve seen plenty of those sort of folk before – they’re usually things like cyclists or runners that …

Movie theaters are required to have closed caption devices available for the deaf. Drive-in theaters aren’t. Important to know if you or a loved one is deaf. I have a workaround for that!

If you read only one rambling blog post with no discernible point behind it today, you might want to pick a different blog post. But, since you’re already here, you might as well keep reading… Last week I decided it was time to refresh my Tai Chi (Taiji, Taijiquan, however you’d like to refer to …
When in Rome, right? People who know me know I’m not a pot head – it’s just never been my thing. But, since I was going to be in Colorado, I had multiple reasons why I wanted to do a little marijuana tourism. At the same time I’m writing this, I’ve already written an article …
