Eastwood: 78, going on ageless

Gran Torino is another film that I really hadn’t heard much about – funny how that happens when you turn off your satellite and cable.  I kinda dig not seeing all the previews.  When you think about it – most of the time, the previews either show all the good parts of a movie or [...]

The Tour de 20K begins today

I did just over five miles today on my bike and started thinking about a goal.  Last year was one of my worst in terms of total mileage and I think its time to get my butt back in gear. Rather than just do something simple like set a goal of “ride more” or “ride [...]

How do you take junk food and make it junkier?

I know junkier is not a word, but trust me – it applies. I just had to snap a pic after I saw this at the checkout of my local 7-11.  You are looking at a Butterfinger BUZZ! Yes, you read that right “With as much caffeine as the leading energy drink!”  So take the [...]

It may not be fake, but it’s not good television either
