I always love seeing an article penned by you.

I coached swimming for 5 years at West Virginia Wesleyan - the school has produced two NFL hall-of-famers, one of which is Greasy Neale

This may be an "old person thing"* but I much prefer using Windows [File] Explorer than OneDrive/SharePoint to access files

How much would you pay for a "I just want an operating system so I can work" version of Windows?

No Co-Pilot, Cortana, Edge, One Drive, Microsoft Store, To Do, Candy Crush, ads, or data collection. Your start menu will be installed programs only.

I honestly feel like $999 would be fair for this.

Parity in the NFL is so fun. Feels like this year if anyone can get hot going into the playoffs they can make a deep run

My wife convinced me to go for a dip in the North Sea (temp 57F) for "health reasons." On the way to find a suitable location, we saw this little one

I'm currently on an island in the North Sea. We went to lunch yesterday and a guy working there saw my Browns hat and asked if I'm a fan. Turns out his kid is a big fan and they're flying to Vegas in November to see them play.

My wife and I watched a true crime doc (American Murder - The Family Next Door).

We've watched enough of these to know that it's mostly always the dad and he's probably had an affair.

I've also seen enough cop shows to know you always ask for a lawyer
