Choose your closest friends wisely.
I remember as a young teenager, my mother warning me about hanging out with “the wrong crowd” because often people paint you with the same brush by association. However, when we are young teenagers – we often know better than our parents what is best for us – or so we think until we are old enough to admit that we were wrong.
When we are young, we believe that we are in complete control of our...

Chocolates
Yes, Valentines Day is pretty much synonymous with flowers and chocolate but if you are going to give chocolate this Valentines Day, avoid your run-of-the-mill, last minute, Hershey Kisses from Shoppers Drug Mart.
Tip: Go big, or go home. Example: You can’t go wrong with Lindt Lindor Truffles— (red/pink packaging or a heart-shaped box = bonus)
Flowers
Roses symbolize love and...

Claire: Well, my dad is doing Manny's project for him.
Phil: He called to tell you that?
Claire: Oh, no, he called to tell me he wasn't which is exactly what you say when you are but you don't want anyone to suspect it.

My NFL Playoff Predictions
Denver Broncos @ New England Patriots
No doubt, football fans across the globe will be watching this game to see if Tebow is in fact the “chosen one” but there won’t be any fourth quarter heroics from “you know who” in this game. Jesus can help Tim Tebow against Tom Brady.
Winner: New England
New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers

"Never get caught trying to tell a hockey player...
Never get caught trying to tell a hockey player it’s just a game. Never get caught trying to explain to him all the things in the world that matter so much more. His mind might well acknowledge the truth to your point, but his soul would be powerless to accept it.

NFL Week 9... my worst week yet.
Seriously, Pats? You’re killing me. Things we learned in week 9: Apparently the Cincinnati Bengals are good at football. Oh, and the Colts still suck.

NFL Week 9 Picks
New York Jets at Buffalo
The Jets have yet to win on the road. Winner: Bills
Seattle at Dallas
It’s painful for me to pick the boys, but Tony Romo will have to play real bad (and by real bad I mean worse than usual) to lose this one - which is definitely a possibility. Winner: Cowboys
New York Giants at New England
Perhaps picking the Pats is wishful thinking, Eli Manning is looking...

NFL Week 8... what really happened.
So, the Pats lost and I don’t want to talk about it. Thankfully cousin Kim (the Steeler fan) is a gracious winner (unlike me) and I didn’t suffer too much. In other NFL news, Tony Romo still sucks and the Dallas Cowboys are suffering because of it (sorry Dad).
