THE NOT SO FRIENDLY SKIES
I fly relatively frequently. I would guess I am on a plane anywhere from 20-30 times a year. There are many that travel more times and miles than me, but it is reasonably safe to say I know my way around a few airports in this country as well as internationally. I have my own […]

A preliminary list of things to Never Trust: -A criminal defense attorney whose favorite song is Rhianna’s “*itch Better Have My Money.” -People who don’t like dogs. -People who start any sentence with “I don’t mean any disrespect…” -Personal trainers […]
MURDER IN CALI
Like many of you I am an avid watcher of Dateline, 48 Hours and ID (Investigation Discovery) Channel. Sex, Money and Murder normally captivate our attention and many of these investigative news shows hit on a combination of all three. The news of a California woman reportedly set to post bail that had been set […]
PHOTOSHOP
Men, both straight and gay, have been dictating to society what are the acceptable and standards of beauty for women for… forever is probably appropriate.

TOP 5 FINAL FOUR PLAYERS
I was asked to compile a Top 5 all time positional player list for the Final Four. The task was much more difficult than I could have imagined. While I am not a historian, I am well aware of the past contributions of the many greats that I never actually saw play (at least through […]
ATL ORGY – FUGAZI FREAK
By Richard Ray: In the exhaustive research I conducted for the #Atlorgy piece, I found the woman behind the organized event to be an interesting dichotomy of honesty and contradictions. Okay, exhaustive may have been a bit of an overstatement, but in the Trump era of alternative facts #lietillyoudie, I figured the 80 minutes […]
STOP POLITICIZING RAPE
A 14 year old girl appears to have been brutally sexually assaulted by an 18 year old and 17 year old in her high school. That is the sad reality period. Any sexual assault of any person should be met with the uproar and outcry that this particular incident has incited, but for entirely different […]
