Yes it is that time of the year. The day that I was brought into this world 27 years ago and shortly upon my arrival I was spanked! This should have been a warning to the many more I received as a child. Birthdays are days that many people make a rather large deal about. Some will throw a large party others will go out and paint the town. I know some that try to ignore it. But this year I want to do something a little different. I want to thank my mom for bringing me into this wor...

I was riding my bicycle at lunch today and rode past some people playing some hoops. There were no officials. There were no rowdy fans. There were no cameras. There were no attitudes. The name of the game was H-O-R-S-E The people came to play to have fun. All with Smiles on their faces. I for one enjoy NBA playoffs but feel that they are definitely over payed and many are 'cry babies.' It was really exciting to me to watch people play the game in it's purity. Just For Fun. Th...

I received this in an email. Hope you enjoy it as much as I. Sorry about the formatting. A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art. When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son. About a month...

I was just thinking about different expressions that I think may be seen as adolescent but interesting. I am curious if others out there do the same thing? here are a few examples. Let's make like a tree and leave (BTF-II) Let's make like a shepherd and get the flock out of here Let's make like a fetus and head out (kind of disgusting I know) Let's make like a writer and book it. Let's make like chicken's and fly this coup. Let's make like a taliban and blow this joint (maybe offe...

      One might easily get the wrong impression based solely on thetitle. I am writing this to those who knew Richard although theymay not realize the impact that this one man had on my life.        My first memory of Uncle Richard was when I was about 10 yearsold shortly after his massive heart attack. We were up at mygrandfather’s farm in Northern Colorado during the wheat harvest. Onthis particular day ...

Ever since i have been young I have often looked down at my navel and pondered. Why is there always lint in my navel? It doesn't matter the color of shirt for the lint in my navel varies from time to time. I do not know when, how, or WHY it is there but it seems my body comes fully equipped with a lint trap. This once life giving orifice has resulted in a natural producer of fuzz bunnies. Am I the only one?

A few weeks ago I was out of town visiting my sweet fiance in Baltimore (before she went back to Kyrgyzstan). The people we stayed with had a Mandolin. I have never played a string instrument but found myself playing it. In a matter of a few minutes I was enjoying it more and more. In a hour I was able to play a few chords and was doing quite well. My question to the JU community is this. Is playing the madolin masculine or does it degrade masculinity in your eyes? Thanks for you...
