My wife and I took a road trip to Columbus Ohio to see the band Toto this weekend. Columbus is the home to Ohio State University and White Castle. There are probably some famous people from there, but I was too lazy to look them up. I do know (now) that it is the...

Decisions are hard. Last week I had to make a whole bunch of decisions about who would win games in the college basketball tournament. I can safely say that most of those decisions were bad. I’m dead last in the pool I did with my wife, sister-in-law, and their...
