A Personal Pilgrimage
There was the curve at the bottom of the hill; rounding it, I no longer needed my GPS. ... Off to the right stood the trees on which I'd tested my first pair of glasses (the visceral excitement when I realized that I could see the leaves at a distance)....

More bars, at least in the house
My wife and I had been cell-phone only for quite some time both before we were married and after. Then we moved to a more rural part of the triangle, and switched to AT&T wireless and found ourselves in quite the cell-hole. Especially in summer when the leaves on the trees came in. After weighing the options at the time (Vonage, Time Warner Digital Phone, or Embarq Plain-Old-Telephone Service) – we ended up going with Embarq for a variety of reasons, just hoping for the day that AT&

Mosquitos, Black Flies & Other Pernicious Winged Pests on the River
Last Sunday Cate and I took a drive though the wine country just north of the Missouri River. Some of the leaves are already changing and I’m getting excited about the fall colors and trips down deserted streams. We stopped by Montelle Winery and got a bottle of their Himmelswein to enjoy on the patio overlooking the valley. We sat there for a while eating cheese and crackers enjoying our wine. As the sun dipped below the horizon I felt the warm itch on my ankle, then the back of my neck, then m

Secret Golf Lesson #1- Add More Distance To Your Drives
We recently filmed Bobby giving one of his famous lessons. This time he was dealing with a senior golfer trying to get more distance. Harold is actually very accurate from 145 yards and closer. But his main problem is that he can only drive the ball about 200 yards. This leaves him long approaches and he does not get to play to his strength of that 145 yard and closer mark. Watch as Bobby makes two small adjustments to his swing to add significant distance. Please let us know what you
