I’m Baa-ack
So I went to the beach and said I was going to blog since I had free time, then said screw it. I did read three books so will review them in the next week or so. I do have […]
Road to Redemption
Late last month, the U.S. soccer team got some great publicity with a fantastic run at the Confederations Cup. People who usually didn’t follow the team tuned in to see us almost beat Brazil in the final. You might now […]
Book Review: Gods Behaving Badly
I had long summer reading lists pretty much every year in high school. At one point, I read both “The Illiad” and “The Odyssey.” Or, to be more accurate, I skimmed those Greek mythological tomes and read the Cliff’s Notes […]

Book Review: How to Talk to a Widower
I found Jonathan Tropper by accident. While scanning the shelves at a local bookstore for something to read, the cover for The Book of Joe caught my eye. I had never heard of the author, but found the summary interesting […]
Place Your Bets
The good news just keeps flowing the way I see it. Delaware has started on the road to table games with the first ones expected by January. Sports betting is pretty much a done deal. I scoped out some good […]
