I ran out of gas last night on my way home from the grocery store. I was there to pick up dinner and some sundry items, no big deal. As I was listening to Blackhawk on the radio, my mini-van sputtered and stalled. I thought my wife had said the E light [...]
When Sarah and I went to the movies this week we were struck by how many cars were in the parking lot. “Ahhh it’s Spring Break.” I said to her. Kids are out in full force this week. Although I was the teacher of some of them, I wasn’t. I chose [...]

Online dating helped me find and marry my soul mate Sarah. I even found her during the “free trial” period so the service was free! I thought I’d write a blurb about Yahoo! Personals because I feature them as an advertiser. It isn’t just demographics that makes me do so (most my [...]
