I've admittedly come into the modern age a bit slowly when it comes to cell phones.  We only purchased our first one a few years ago due to job requirements and my wife and I lived off of that phone for several years before finally breaking down and getting one for me.  Even still, I rarely have my phone with me at all times.  When I first got it I basically left it in my car 90% of the time.  I might as well have had an old bag phone.  Recently I've been trying to carry it around with me more.  It seems more and more people have my cell number and prefer to call me on that line.  It's still h

Those are the original rules for the game of basketball.  It still sort of resembles the game being played today but as you can see,  today's basketball game is dramatically different.  While today's basketball game might not be perfect in the eyes of many, it's certainly a drastic leap forward from these original 13 rules.

Most of you who play online with me know that I'm a Hoosier by both birth and residency.  That's not really all that exciting, but unfortunately it's ruining my cereal every morning.  As most people know there's a primary in my State next week.  Normally I have the luxury of using my DVR to watch my television programming and can skip through the onslaught of political ads that we've been inundated with over the last few weeks.  The problem is, that in the morning, while I'm eating my Honeycombs, I watch the local news in order to get the scoop on the weather that day or any breaking story tha

Throughout the 398 month campaign season we've heard numerous candidates talk about how they are "outsiders" or want to bring a new direction to Washington.  If you ask virtually anyone on the street about the politicians in Washington, probably the most common response you'll get is "throw them all out!".  Change is the buzz word of political campaigns for this and virtually any race.  The question is, do we really want change?
