RIP...

Below is a list of five things to keep and eye out for during the...

How many of you have gotten hooked on this TV show? I got hooked by it last year during it's mid season debut. I especially like the character Walter. It has a bit of a hint of the original Twilight Zone with Rod Serling. Most of my TV viewing is HGT, DIY, or Food Network, I try not to miss...

Thursday night is the fall start of Fox TVs new show the Fringe at 9/8C I think this is one of the better shows on TV. If you caught the mid season premiere of the show last season I think you would agree. It kind of the X-Files and Twilight Zone roll into one and makes the unbelievable somewhat...
I will apologized if this has been discussed and the dead horse has been beat to death before. This is the first year in quite a long time that I have reached a point of saturation for like of a better word or maybe lost of interest may be more appropriate. Anyway I live in an area where year...

For some of you out there who are in your fifties and sixties you will remember that 40 years ago on the evening of August 9, 1969 the Sharron Tate murders took place. A crime so heinous, it sent shock waves through the country that are still palpable today.

I ran across a link to the top 10 Barbecue places in the US and noticed that they had a place that is close to me. Full Moon Barbecue in Hoover Alabama. Now I agree Full Moon has good barbecue but I think they missed their calling on this one it should have been Jim & Nicks in Birmingham, to me...
Here is my new best buddy. As you can see in my signature line my best buddy that I had for 14 years passed away in early June this year. I was really torn about getting a new buddy but gave in when I saw this little guy. His name (unless I come up with something else is) Mobi (take off on Moby...
This post is some what off topic as for as golf but also relates to ones game. Two years ago I was told by my doctor that I need to loose some weight and to try to get in better shape. I was also diagnose with severe diabetes, the doctor told me I really needed to find at least 30 minutes a day...
