My Two Masters Part One
I’ll admit it: The movie, “Karate Kid” has to some degree defined me as a person. I’m not talking about the nepotistically-produced, pathetic excuse for a remake. I mean the gloriously cheesy, deliciously predictable original. I grew up without a father and really without a consistent father figure.

Owl Pellets and Trampolines
I have kids. God has blessed me with two sets. Our eldest turned 18 last year and our youngest is 5. I’m going to be parenting for a relatively long time.
