I’ve written a few articles on the beach already. But, in my defense, the beach does have us surrounded. For some reason, whenever it starts getting warm again kiln-baking hot, we flock to the beach like Palmetto bugs to honey. So my little family of roaches packed up with some friends to hit Cocoa Beach last weekend. When we arrived at our friend’s house, the wives … [Read more...]

Modern day research tells us that there’s practically nothing good about the substance, so I suggest that if you’re going to swallow another article about the evils of sugar, you should do so with a spoonful of, um, molasses.
