Just this week I was informed of a business acquaintance who was killed in a murder-suicide. While I wasn’t close to this person, I still find myself with a deep sense of bewilderment and sadness. The wife was killed by her husband, who then turned the gun on himself. We may never know the reasons [...]
Twins on the way!
My youngest daughter and son-in-law are expecting twins in July of this year. We recently attended a “gender-party” to find out the sex of the babies. This is a new party idea, obviously created by the ladies. No guy would ever come up with this. With much fanfare and celebration, we found out that they [...]

USA Today “Free Porn on ‘tube sites’ a turnoff to industry profits
In an article in USA Today by Jon Swartz, Tuesday, March 2, 2010 it states that “The adult entertainment industry is in a tailspin, shattering the notion that it is one of the few recession-proof industries.” Interesting comments, but I doubt that this will have any impact at all on the availability or the use [...]

Help for Tiger Woods
My thoughts and prayers go out to Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin. When a man is caught in his “transgressions” it is a difficult and painful time for him and his family. The wife is completely destroyed and will carry this hurt and pain with her the rest of her life. What causes a [...]
