Have you dreamt of flying through the air, with the wind pulling around you and world far below you? Have you always wondered what it would be like to jump off a high precipice with nothing but thin layers of nylon to support you, looping you into the wind while you observe the ground below? 50 years ago, I would’ve said you were plum out of luck, fine fellow. But today
I’ll let you in on a little secret most men like to keep to themselves. This might cause me some loss of status, and maybe I’ll lose my own “man card”, but I think you should be aware of this one thing. I think you should know about the real reason men go to play golf. You will see, on any given weekend, or even weekday for those lucky few, groups of men, out together on a green, or teeing up a ball in front of a beautiful fairway. You might be tempted to think that these men really love the game. You might wonder why so many men enjoy the game however. Do they truly love the outdoors? Do they
There are little tricks and shortcuts to learn about someone pretty quickly. They say a good way to find out what someone is really like is to see how they react when trying to work with slow internet. Or maybe hit them up with a Draw 4 when playing the game of Uno. These tricks work at exposing what someone is really like. But I think one of the best ways to
Not many people know this about me. Most don’t know my story of when I was young. My family was part of a traveling circus and we were always on the tightropes, the nets, but most excitingly, the trapeze. Most other kids my age would attend normal school, learning normal things, but I got to attend flying school, learning about rope maintenance and
It’s becoming more and more popular a phenomenon that video games are being used as introductions into real world activities. Many racing drivers will play their actual tracks on their gaming consoles, memorizing the turns and the apex points. First person shooters are being used in military training to develop hand-eye coordination at no cost of ammunition or risk involved
It has been said that if you’re going to be doing something for the rest of your life, take the time to do it right. And there’s a fair chance you will be eating for the rest of your life. And unless scientists finally develop those food replicators from Star Trek, you’ll have to find ways to improve on your cooking. Might I suggest a cooking class to take you through even just some of the basic dishes. Having a repertoire
So, you’ve arrived at another Saturday night. You’re out with your friends and you’re having a good time. Or maybe you’re just a night in with a few people and doing some quieter celebrating, watching the game and having a few cold ones. Sure, your drink of choice might be a local micro-brew or even a fancy Shiraz, and those are good for some occasions. But what about those times when you want to get truly fancy? What about
I don’t know what your inspirations were. I don’t know what motivated you to look into it. Whether it was the TV special on Cirque Du Soleil that you managed to catch late one night. Or maybe it was your love of clowns, especially Fizzbo from the Modern Family series, and how they can bring so much joy to people. Or maybe it was that you have
Normally, you get into certain boats for certain reasons. For example, should you wish to explore the mighty Mississippi River, you would do best in an authentic wooden paddle steamer. If you wanted to ride over a waterfall and continue down the rapids, a kayak would be better suited for your purpose. If you
It seems that everybody today talks about two things; Pumpkin-spiced lattes, and bucket lists. As you sip your pumpkin-spiced latte right now while reading this, you may have already imagined a few things on your bucket list that you’d like to get around to doing one day or another. As for today, however, today has enough concerns of its own. For instance, you’re
