The Event Books

I was at the kid’s football practice last evening.  I always bring the bag chair and sit on the hill near the other parents.  I’ve left that chair to talk to people, use the bathroom, and get food from the concession stand.  No issues.  That chair has always been right there.  Last night, our boys…

I never really noticed how big of a difference driving two vehicles could be.  Going from the Camaro to the Explorer or the F250 to the Explorer is not that big of a difference, but after driving the Camaro for a couple of weeks, going from the Camaro to the F250.  Wow!  It’s like going…

I have been told more than a few times in my life that I am playing with fire.  It is never in the same arena as the last, but that is not the point.  Why is it exciting to do something that might be considered wrong?  Why does it intrigue me to walk so close…
