About Me

Once in a generation a hero comes along so great that the world can never be the same. If you ask about it, Don will humbly say, "I'm not my generations greatest... I just hope to change the world one awesome rock song at a time."

Love stories, epic battles, and an enemy that is cunning and beautiful! (afterthought)

Polo Transgressions

I'm sorry but I can be silent no more. The polo shirt has long held too high a status in our western culture. While I do agree that it has its place in yachting clubs and golf courses, it does not, I ...

Nice guys finish last (for the guys, but the girls can read it too!)

I was watching TV, (in my defense that's all I can do these days) and I saw an only too familiar seen in which a "nice guy" struggled with what the right thing to do was. Well the "bad boy" got the gi...
