This weekend, besides being the 10th anniversary of 9/11, was the start of football season. Let’s cover our bases: I’m a New York Giants fan. Why? Because I grew up an hour outside New York. Because my dad’s fan. Because I have been since I could think: Football rocks. Memories: I remember being too young [...]

Note: When I really started to think about this, I can see why there are atheists. You godly people have been warned. Why McDonalds is good: The best french fries on earth.

I like to start stuff. Not just fights. In December, I declared a National Coffee Day. IVs in by 8 a.m. and don’t stop until the shakes. I declared National Sweatpants Day in January.
