Go Broncos! Let’s Win this one Last Game of the Season

I have watched football for 25 years and can’t remember a team that people counted out so much. The season was supposed to be over when Peyton Manning got benched. It wasn’t. The season was supposed to be over when they played Steelers in the AFC Divisional game. It wasn’t. It was really supposed to be over when they played Patriots in the AFC Championship game. It wasn’t.

Now it is Superbowl Sunday, the Denver Broncos versus the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are favored by 6 and once agai...

List of books that most frequently use the word “F#ck”

While editing the book, I noticed that one word was used a lot in the text. The word was fuck in one form or another. There is “fuck”, “fucker”, and “fucking”. It was as important to our vocabulary as “the” or “it” so it felt nature and not overused.

I did a search and one variation of “fuck” was used 367 times throughout the book. That doesn’t seem like a high number for a book with 68,000 words. That’s around .005% of the entire text, less than 1%.

I got curious and began to wonder if there...

Rest in Peace and Thanks for the Memories

The second concert I ever attended was Stone Temple Pilots at Red Rocks amphitheater on Monday, August 8th, 1994. I was 16 and about to start my senior year of high school. It was the first time I ever saw a concert at Red Rocks and the first time I went to a concert alone.

The person I was supposed to attend the show with canceled/bailed at the last minute. I made a few calls, but I could not find anyone to go so I decided to go by myself and scalp the extra ticket.

I remember being scared d...
