My T-Shirts

These are my most provocative t-shirts. I don't mean he-look-sexy-in-that t-shirts (because I look sexy in everything). I mean these t-shirts make other people want to punch me in my facial area.   Let me take a moment to justify these t-shirts, starting with the easiest one to defend. The grey one with the slogan…

The Value of What you Have

Never under-estimate the value of the things you have. I want to share two stories with you just to show the power of one of the most valuable things around: friendship. As I’ve mentioned many times (because I’m a boastful pain in the rump) I went to Thailand. And I had a good time. Not…
