Flights
Another flight home from Seattle; another chance to sit beside one of the lineman for the Cowboys. I’ve noticed an interesting trend over the last couple weeks during my trips.

But would you […]

Let the Games Begin …
In every new endeavor there’s always excitement and trepidation. Whether it be the first day of kindergarten, junior high or high school.
