This is not a safe place. I am not going to debate politics; most politicians are pathetic humans. I am not going to discuss religion; faith is my go-to. I will not argue he, she, him, her; live and let live.
What you will get is my take on how everyday life is a) worth living and 2) fucked up. We’re just here to make the most of it. No one has the promise of tomorrow. We cannot change yesterday. There’s no need to worry about tomorrow.
I choose to make the best of today.

Husband
Married to the mentally strongest woman I’ve met, who also is whip-smart and hotter’n fish grease. The kids won the lottery with her.
Journalist
I’ve covered everything from small-town sheriffs to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to every major sports championship.
Fun Fact
As an inaugural NASCAR Hall of Fame voting panel member in 2009, I did not check the box for Dale Earnhardt. (I did in Year 2.)

I said what I said
My faith does not vote
Nefarious folks are working to influence you with social posts leaning into faith. Religion is personal; understand that they prey on your prayers.

The Founding Fathers put forth the U.S. motto: E Pluribus Unum. “Out of many, one.” Then, the zealots began to change the narrative.
The moment that changed America
Barack Obama is the epitome of “what’s wrong” in America. After all, he picked on Donald Trump🍄 – a white guy! In public, no less!
