For my money, I believe college roots generate far more energetic reactions than pro loyalties. At least, that’s the sense I get when I’m flying the colors of my Florida Gators. As we in South Florida can readily attest, most… Read more »

Case in point, when my latest outing to Best Buy taught me that if you snooze, you gain. How did this educational lesson begin?

Between all of us, we have one former excellent bowler, one fair bowler and three meh bowlers. But… Read more »
