This...is a new building. It doesn't look like it, does it?  It is.  It's a new set of apartments that you can find on Ohio Street.  I don't get it.  Why are they rusty already?

I think the time has come.  Chicago said it, and then Boys II Men backed them up and admitted, "Everybody needs a little time away."  It's true.  What started off as a fun thing to do and a cool way to keep up with people, has become incredibly depressing and I think I need a break.

I made a simple observation today that I think you might agree is true.  There is no "in between" when it comes to liking or disliking candy corn.  I don't know anyone who is apathetic about it.  Either you love it, or you hate it.

I work in a business that depends on interaction. We want to hear from you. Whether it’s through phone calls, surveys or comments on our website, we love to interact. Obviously this letter doesn’t go out to everyone. However, I’m not afraid to say it to the rest. We've all had a run in with them. They're people who just thrive on ruining other people's days. That being said... Dear Trolls, Read Mo

I've seen many smokers who go out of their way to be sure not to offend others by their smoke. I don't want to paint a picture with a wide brush. However, it is pretty frustrating to see a child in the back seat of a vehicle while an adult puffs away in the front. And starting tomorrow (January 1, 2014), it is going to become illegal.

When I got married, like many other married people, I received a ring from my wife. Aside from a few times when I have been swimming in the ocean, I haven't taken my ring off. I sleep with it on, I shower with it on, I do everything with my ring on. So I was surprised by a study that asked women when it was OK to take your wedding ring off.

Simon Cowell recently had people shaking their heads again after he admitted that he will not be in the delivery room when his girlfriend delivers their child in February. He has since said that he will be in the delivery room. But it brought up a good question. Do guys have to be in the delivery room?

As I woke up this morning and jumped on Facebook, I noticed so many pictures of parents being sad about their child's first day of school. They were finally "leaving the nest", and for some parents, it can be pretty hard. I have to admit that I was pretty sad when both of my kids left. But it does get better...

It came in the mail today. The list of items that my kids will need to have for their first day of school arrived. How come I don't remember having such an extensive list when I was a kid?

There are lots of reasons that people do what they do. Some people go out to find dates, some to get drunk, and some just want to get out of the house. I know that it sounds like a good problem to have to us guys, but guess what...women don't all want to be hit on when they go out.

When people think Buffalo, they think wings. Other places might try, but they just cannot compete with Buffalo's wings. They taste so good! But they always make me feel terrible. It never fails. I always feel awful after I eat them. So why do I keep it up?

There are certain things that you shouldn't do when you're drinking. Obviously driving is on that list. I think calling ex-girlfriends should be out. Texting should be out all together. Social networking, too, can be a bad idea when you're drinking.  Which is why the Budweiser Buddy Cup could be a very bad idea.
