Will I ever learn? Probably not.

I forgot to mention that on Tuesday I took my truck for a much-needed oil change, and a few days earlier, I noticed the engine light came on and it was running a bit rough. Nothing major, but noticeable enough to decide I'd be...

Consider this staggering number for a moment if you will. $7 trillion. Yes, that's with a T. That's how much money the government typically spends in a year. $7 trillion. $5 trillion of that is collected in tax revenues. The other...

I have made chicken pot pies in the past and they have always been good. But this time, it seems the pie crusts did not fit the round dish I use for these. I mean, the mixture should be good, and the crusts should brown nicely,...
