Life Is For the Ducks At Riverfront Park

Greg Tillotson — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:31:20 +0000

I skipped out of the offices earlier than normal yesterday with the intent of getting some vitamin D. I guess that’s a perk of getting to the station every morning at 4. My work day ends earlier than most. My destination of choice yesterday was Riverfront Park. My mission was to get some sunshine and [...]

Cody.Fryxell — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 07:00:35 +0000

Last Wednesday night, I decided to take advantage of the warm evening air and go for a run. About a mile in, I came upon another runner who was on the other side of the road, running in the same direction. As we exchanged strides, I began to wonder if I was on the right side of the road. My question was soon answered by a SUV that passed me with only inches to spare. After my close call, I decided to look into some basic safety measures for runners and share them.

Harv — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:03:24 +0000

Were you one of the millions of people that crowded into the theaters last weekend to get a peek at the latest Hollywood money making machine? The Hunger Games is poised to take over the pasty-faced vampire and sexually confused wizard movies that have been the source of teenage obsession the past few years.

While browsing the web I came across this amusing list of pick up lines that made me not only chuckle, but realize I just wasted $9 at the theater. If you're lucky enough to not have seen the movie, then you will have no idea what the following means... and are probably better for it.

Carl Pettit — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:00:17 +0000

Last Man Standing are articles intended to help the average guy prepare for some of life’s oddest events. It’s just advice. It’s better than being clueless.

It doesn’t matter if you were accidentally shot on a hunting trip by some vodka swilling fool who doesn’t know the stock of his gun from the barrel, or you got hit while escaping a band of highly trained assassins in the back alleys of Marrakesh (we won’t ask why).

Starting at Quarterback, Mohamed Tebow!

Harv — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:00:24 +0000

Having spent many years working in musical theater at a southern California venue, I have accumulated many über liberal friends. These tea sipping progressive pals of mine are, of course, quite active on social media. After several Facebook rants, bashing Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow for having the audacity to exercise his 1st amendment right by practicing his religion without threat of persecution, it got me thinking. What if the young Tebow praised Allah rather than God?
