“I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful force controlling everything.

Rolando, Mike D and Jenny run the half marathon this morning, the first annual one in downtown San Antonio, 30,000 people show. At the end of it all, the man from Kenya did the 26 miles just a tad before our valiant here’s did the half, but I’m proud of the guys. Waking up the [...]

I’ve always equated life to the card game, especially finding that special someone or something. The idea has always been if you demand the best, you will get the best.
