The Big Squeeze
By Greg Sikes
I think it’s part of the human experience to just go through the motions. It’s really easy to do . . . sort of like the default position on the meter by which we measure life.
You get up at the same time every day. You go to bed at the same time [...]

12:10 am By Greg Primm
It’s been happening quite a bit lately. I brush my teeth, set the alarm for 5:30 am, read for a bit, fall asleep, and then thirty minutes later — BAM! — wide awake. Sleep doesn’t come again for several hours. I’m up.
I stare at a book for a while, surf the internet, read [...]

Do You Want to Have Great Kids or Raise Great Kids? By Charlie Loften
One of my all-time favorite stories in our family history didn’t happen to me and I wasn’t even there. 15 years later, despite my tendency to exaggerate stories, I have yet to tell this story as if it happened to me or I was there. That’s remarkable for me.
Anywho, it was the [...]

These are the priorities that at some point in the past we decided are the most precious features in life. [...]

I Want to Talk About Me by The Howitzer
I like talking about you, you, you, you usually. But, occasionally I want to talk about me. – Toby Keith
I heard one of my favorite country songs again a couple of days ago about a self-centered conversationalist. You know the type! Every conversation is about them. Take my friend Freddy (not their real [...]

“You’re Not as Bad as Everybody Says” by The Howitzer
“I think you’re getting better.” I wasn’t sure exactly how to respond to my latest compliment. I think my evaluator’s heart was good but her choice of words left a little to be desired. Actually, a lot to be desired. Fortunately, my ego wasn’t that fragile or I could have gotten really discouraged. [...]

Living Large with Your Health by The Howitzer
It’s funny that the old fat guy at RAL would write the vision piece about fitness. Normally, any article related to health is assigned to the person who has it all together and loves to put their picture up or someone who tells the before and after story of their walk from obesity [...]
Leisure
Collections By Greg Primm
I still remember the day: November 22, 1987, my 14th birthday. I was a young teenager obsessed with sports. Growing up in a rural area, my biggest source of daily sports news was the newspaper and the two minute sports telecast on the six o’clock news. Forget ESPN - this was pre-cable TV [...]

Give the Working Poor Their Wages by The Howitzer
In tough economic times, difficult decisions about finances .are being made at every level. At the individual level, decisions are being made about what kind of housing adjustments need to be made, what kind of food is to be eaten, what kind of extra-curricular activities need to be participated in and even if [...]
