Reality Time: Getting in Touch with My Redneck Roots via Duck Dynasty
It’s Sunday afternoon and we’re watching the Talladega Sprint Cup.

Commercials To Set Your DVR To, and Keep You Up at Night Fretting Over Gout
Finally the major work project we’ve all been busting our collective behinds on is over. Well, can any major project really ever be over? Let me assure you the answer is no. However, the largest and most immediate deadline has passed. I can now get back to keeping on the lookout for new, bad reality…
