Yesterday at Rooster Booster, it was the end of an era. Kirk Kirkpatrick, the MC of the breakfast for the last 37 years, was in front of the mic for the last time as MC. The event was huge and there were some really nice parts saying goodbye to Kirk...

While I would love to say otherwise, the original reason for starting an exercise program as an adult was the very superficial worldly desire to lose weight and look like the skinny models on the magazine covers.

Well the end of another year has come. Time to start fresh in another year. And many of us have New Year’s resolutions to help us make the New Year a better one. I usually make New Year’s resolutions but for one reason or another I fail to keep them...

Edward Snowden.  Everyone knows the face by now and it seems that he is still sitting in the Moscow Airport waiting for some light at the end of his long, long tunnel. Still, every time I think of Snowden, I think of Carmen Sandiego and how she just went from place to place around the world...
