    Mother Nurture
    I always thought that Mother Nature should have been called Mother Nurture. The cycle of life is about growing and evolving. Everything in nature is created to help something else succeed or grow. Even when something dies it is still giving off nutrients that will help something else survive. The global eco system is such a powerful machine that...

    You Are What You Eat

I do know that if you don’t handle it right there is a higher chance of becoming ill so I am usually pretty careful with poultry. My wife and I have found some pretty great...

    The Nature of Nature
    When we think of nature we think of the beautiful world that surrounds us with all its green leaves and brilliant flowers.

    Breasts or Legs?
    My whole life I have enjoyed legs more than breasts. There is something very primal about sinking your teeth into nice juicy golden brown skin and ripping the meat from the bone. Tender Meat I have always preferred the more tender dark meat of turkey legs over the dry white meat of the breast portion. When I was a kid I usually had to fight my...

    In A Child's Eyes
    Superheroes When I was young I had a very extensive comic book collection. I always pretended to be a comic book hero. At the time I didn’t care which one just as long as I had extraordinary powers. My friends and I would run around the field at school with our arms out in front of us pretending we were flying. We would stare fiercely at objects...

    Manners
    How To Act In Public The other day I was in a restaurant and I heard someone belch. I looked over to the table where it came from and saw that it was a boy that looked to be about eight years old. The initial burp didn’t bother me when I realized the source. Kids will be kids and you can’t blame a child for “letting one slip”. Then the father of...
