“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 […]
You know how you are walking or biking down a new trail that you have never been on before and you come to that literal “fork in the road”? If you are an adventurer like me, this is an exciting moment! “Two choices instead of one! My little adventure just got twice as exciting!” I […]
