No matter how many times I read his books, his words … More Papa, Let’s Preach! It’s Hemingway Week!
Every Fourth of July, I think of Dex Thaler, and every Fourth of July, I swoon.

My regularly scheduled episodes of Jeopardy! have been bumped to the middle of the night and every time I turn on the TV I hear the tell-tale sound of sneakers squeaking on a basketball court, which can only mean one thing: It’s March Madness! I’ve refrained from any kind of bracket-mania ever since I won … More March Hunkness Round One: The Terrific 27
