It's been a hell of a week, and events have inspired me to put some meaning to the words "Get Involved".  Many folks like to preach it, me included, but we forget that this is not a basic human skill, nor does it mean the same to everyone.

First and foremost, a ad good bye to Jimmy Buffett

But the topic today is:  Have we already forgotten.  9/11 was a pivotal part of the GenX experience, and the lessons learned need to be passed forward.

I think some folks have things a little twisted.  Prepping is not a niche crowd, it is an essential part of growing up.

I told you I was comin' for ya!   You was warned.  

This is just another rant to warn you to check yourself before you wreck yourself.  Old School is a over used phrase that has totally been pirated by a generation.

Often Times, we need the perspective of the youngsters.  In this episode, I interview (I use that loosely because my interview skills are, well, admixture at best) a youngster from the dirt track.  Not just any youngster, but NASCAR perspective and local track favorite  #ColbyPerkins!

Now, Colby provides insight and advise as a younger racer (he is only a senior in high school), and how his mentorship from his family has h...

Well, we have been inundated with media about #theslap, #Will Smith reaching out and touching #Chris Rock.  Well, the perspective that is not being shared is that of the Kids.

Weather you agree with it or not, it sends a message, and a very bad one to young adults in society.  It is also reflective of an attitude creeping into our culture: Finding a reason to be offended.

Hold just a moment before you pour the pint and let loose the craic.  St. Patrick's day isn't just a drinking holiday.  The Irish have a lot to pass down to the younger generations; both from experience and from cultural traditions.  Draw up into a school circle, lite the pipe and pass a few of it down.
In this special edition, I'll share my own families journey from Limerick as well as point out some similaritie...

#johnwayne had saying "you got to have a code, a creed to live by".  These old codes, creeds and customs had a very significant place in society and avoiding them is a slippery slope you just don't want to go down.

Papaw prefers to live by the code of the west, a tried and true recipe for those things not codified in civil law.  Not the least of those codes is riding for the brand: pick something to commit t...

OMG we are moving into doing interviews.  This episode we interview local dirt track racer Chris Tuck.  Chris has dominated his divisions through his hard work and focus, and we discuss that to an extent.  But also, Chris brings a passion to seeing the sport grow through the younger generations.  

Whether you race, travel or whatever your family does, it's important to have the kids in mind so they can get a sense of ...

Little Feat had a great song in Willin'.  Is todays world, we struggle to get things done when, in reality, there are people just willin' to keep movin on for just a nudge.

God gave us a large vocabulary for a reason.  Becoming Lazy and merging wordds causes us to not fulfill our journey.  

Acceptance and Forgiveness are like settling a checkbook, and one MUST be done beofre the other or it is moot.

Just like the NY Jets, we tend to take things that have a smidgen of sense and keep running them straight up the middle.  Then, we wonder why we haven't seen a super bowl .... hell, it was an awesome idea?!?!

Well, we keep running "Acceptance" down society's throat like it is the magic pill, or the play of the century.  It sounds good in theory, the problem is, the opposing team keeps blocking it.
