I really think Samantha Morton may be close to my ideal actress. But, only close, as she still doesn?t reach the perfect five movies. Three of her movies are awesome and two are pretty good leaving her just short of ?ideal.? Truthfully, I?m not sure if there is an ideal actress that would have five

Spring break! Spring training! Spring training break! (I have done that once before, traveling to Florida for spring break and catching a couple Cincinnati Reds spring training games.

The gym I work out at ? a local franchise that shall go nameless ? is small, smelly, and screams late 1980s, but at least it doesn?t frown upon bodybuilding like Planet Fitness. I?m not afraid to admit it: I?m anything but a heavily muscular dude. But I do know the persistence, hard work and

A few weeks ago, while examining the interesting things I found to do in the desert of west Texas, I mentioned my long time infatuation with eating a bucket load of food, in this case, a 72-ounce steak. So, my editor Rick asked if there were any other eating challenges that had caught my eye.
