My wife and I toured the state on a recent Saturday, as we often do. I learned something on this journey that greatly upset me. In fact, I was downright mad. We left our humble home at 4:45 a.m. and …

I’ve always felt I was a bit more mature than my driver’s license says I am. I’m talking appearance, not actions. I always looked older than my peer group growing up. It came in …

I think I’m actually being too good of a husband. I may have gone above and beyond my husbandly duties. Problem is, I’m hoping I don’t have a hard time getting things back to the …

I lived through the heart attack that, thankfully, wasn’t. Some background: By virtue of winning, or losing, the genetic lottery, I landed firmly on the McLoone side. Men are bald, carry a …

I don’t know how it happened, but somewhere in the last couple months, I turned into an old man. Winter, I believe, aged me. I feel like I went into it with at least a little vim and vigor. …

The older I get the cooler I get. I’m not talking about cool, like I was in high school, with my hair feathered back and collar up. I’m talking about temperature. At some point in life, I …
