No Holds Barred
Well, not really, but I got a chance to see the first-ever legal mixed martial arts event in Pennsylvania Sunday. I have written that phrase a bunch of times and never thought to ask anyone if there were plenty of […]
Book Review: Dart League King
Book covers get a bad rap. They say you can’t judge a book by one, but that totally leaves out the importance of drawing in a customer with a strong cover. If it weren’t for the image of darts on […]
