Since the age of nine I cannot walk past a body of water bordered by rocks without skipping a few. As I now live next to a creek, no idle walk or summer swim is complete without a throw of at least a dozen skips. The rocks here are mostly gravel… [more]

If Ralph really wanted to get into politics, I would think he'd make a run as a state legislator or congressman. That he constantly runs electively-futile presidential campaigns suggests he's just looking for soapbox for the positions he supports… [more]

Yes, it possible for you to be friends with the staff's spouses. Synthetic, ersatz and specious friends. I was a CEO of a small firm for a few years. My wife's experience mirrors wryly's. You become an attractor in every social setting, the hub… [more]

Follow-up to jamjam's comment: sport hunting is absolutely the reason the deer population wasn't driven into near-extinction. The same goes for wild turkey. If it weren't for general public's fear of brown bears, you'd see their numbers skyrocketing… [more]

What if, in the next 8 weeks, he "found" 7 more pounds, on top of his hard won 3, and went back to spring training, in Triple-A, and blossomed, and got called to the Show in July, and was happy? How closely would you want to look in his… [more]
