“I got your back.” I was listening to Jim Rome the other day on his syndicated radio sports talk show. He was interviewing an athlete and said, “Hey bro, I got your back.” You know what he meant by that, right? That’s how dudes tell each other they are loyal to them. I think it […]

“Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world? Aaaaahhhhhnnaaeeeeyyyyyaaank!” That’s a direct quote from the blockbuster comedy film “Dumb and Dumber” starring Jim Carrey as Lloyd Christmas. It was a very funny moment but I recommend the edited version. I must admit I laughed out of my chair during that movie. But I think […]
Many of you probably don’t know this but I was a cohost of a weekly talk show for three years on Omaha’s #1 talk station KKAR in the 1990’s called “Straight Talk”. It was a call-in show hosted by Ty Schenzel and his beautiful and über-talented wife Terri (ok Ty , if you are out […]

I admit it – I have run out of gas before. One time my wife and I were driving home after a late night and I noticed that my fuel gauge said I was getting close to empty. Now first a word about fuel gauges – I look back on the vehicles I have owned […]
“I’ll get to it tomorrow…” Famous last words. Some of you out there are habitual go-getters – you are always over-prepared, you were the first one to finish each homework assignment in high school, you always finish everything you start… Hmm. On second thought, I don’t think I know anybody like that. Oh, there are […]
Yesterday I was driving home from a Father’s Day celebration at my parents house, and I had about an hour as I drove to watch the fantastic evening sky. The sun was setting and the clouds were painted in a beautiful palette of colors. It occurred to me that we need to take more time […]
I love cats! “They taste just like chicken.” Ha ha. You’ve heard that joke too often, no doubt. But seriously, growing up – we had a cat in our household for a time. We loved that fur ball.
