I can remember once when I was just a little boy my Mom, Nana and I drove to my Nana’s sister’s house in the next town.

After over a decade of faithful service my old desktop computer finally died. It simply wouldn’t start.

It was like going from driving an old Model T Ford to flying the Space Shuttle. After my daughter set it up I looked for the old e-mail...

So yesterday I went to the gas station to fill up my bike with my last $20 and found a $20 in the ATM. I don't like taking anything that is not mine, so I turned it in to the cashier.

It wasn't long after the "For Sale" sign went up on our front yard that they started arriving in our mailbox; postcards. Each one asked to provide service for our impending move.

He explained that he was planning...

I see lots of comments about the intelligence of dolphins. I'll share a personal story of how amazingly smart these creatures are.

Now my expectations were quite mid level/low for this, I've never been a fan of captive animals so I...

I was walking our new rescue puppy, Sweetie this morning. After we finished we came back inside.
