    My son turned 18 today.

    Don't need Depends . . yet. More likely to hit an innocent trail bystander on my mountain bike. Don't get to the ocean much any more, and my third daughter delights in reminding me how much my meager brain has already wasted away. Actually, the Russia thing is funny now, but wasn't so when...

    My son turned 18 today.

    I get to brag a bit because I'm older than all of you put together. I have 3 daughters. They have all surpassed me many times over. The oldest is 56 and a Vice President of Procter & Gamble. She went to 2 state schools. My second daughter is a partner in a white shoe DC law firm who...

    Report - Michigan Offers 5 million to QB Bryce Underwood to leave LSU for Michigan next year

    Reading all of the comments after my "are you happy" post, I've got to laugh. Please refrain from whining when Michigan can come up with $5 mil for one player, and NU can't come up with $5 mil for an entire team. My point was, the field ain't level my friends, (never really was, but it was...

    Expect lighter than usual moderation for the next few days...

    Um, no. I have no desire to grovel in the gravel. Dirt, features, and trees are enough for me, thank you.

    OT: the sport of cycling and the Tour

    I took up mountain biking on dirt trails when I turned 70, but eventually the hills were just too much for me so I converted a hard tail mountain bike to a 1,000 watt E bike with a 52 volt, 14 amp battery (buying the motor and battery and replacing all of the standard drive parts (chain, gears...

    Bill Walton has passed at 71

    Not because of injury, but because of his desire to do something for people in need - Roberto Clemente. For me, the greatest baseball player I have ever watched. He did every aspect of the game with greatness: hit, run, great defense, great arm. Just an awesome talent that we were cut short...
