I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years…

get Jill and come meet you at your house” Max said, picking up his iron axe. Max started doing more of the manly work around his house ever since our scouts survival training. “Alright, see you there Max.” I said as I continued on to Dorothy’s house. Dorothy was sitting on the front porch with Rex. She greeted me with a smile, “Hello dear, come to see King?” King is what Dorothy called Rex. “Hello Dorothy,” I said as Rex came running up to jump on me, “hey Rex, how are you boy?” I played…

twist, here are 22 life lessons I have learned after being betrayed. 1 When it's the end of the night and everyone has left, you only have yourself. But remember that’s not always a bad thing. 2 You can’t act like everything is fine and you are happier than ever on social media just because you are hoping one particular person is going to see it.…

It all began with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “Joe,” Joe’s father hollers up the stairs, “it’s for you. It’s Jackie, and she sounds upset.” As Joe comes downstairs to pick up the phone, he is not happy. Joe is tired and had looked forward to a nice quiet evening at home, not another useless adventure with Jackie. Thirty minutes later, however, Jackie’s 2007 black Ford Escape swings into Joe’s driveway, and Jackie is leaning on the horn before the car can come to a full stop. Joe…

Later that night, Himat was in bed, when he heard ever so silent “No matter what happens to me,” encouraged his mother…

It all began with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “Bark bark,” Robert hollered up the stairs, “bark bark bark bark.” Which I could only assume meant “Number Seven, it’s for you. It’s Hugo, and she sounds pissed.” As I came down the stairs to pick up the phone, I was not motivated to go on another “adventure” after the last few times.
