Today at the local library, they had “Heroes Day” as part of their Summer Reading Program. My mother-in-law took my kids over to meet a police officer, and they were thrilled to have to opportunity to sit in a police car. It would never occur to either of them to be wary or afraid of…
I spent a significant amount of time this week editing video and piecing together a write-up of my experiences at the Ford ST Octane Academy over the weekend for TTAC. I did all this despite knowing that it would probably receive less than ten comments and be read by virtually nobody. What I’ve learned in…
The political season has begun again, less than a year after the country shouted a resounding and unified “Hell, no!” to Barack Obama in the midterm elections. In the Democratic corner, weighing in at “Political Lightweight With Few Accomplishments,” is Hillary Rodham Clinton, presumptive nominee with a checkered past. Seemingly unbeatable, it appears that all…
For my first post here at Riverside Green, I’m going to talk about something that I’m pretty sure has never been mentioned here (that being sports) and something that absolutely has been. It all has to do with the sublimely talented and (let’s not deny it, because it matters) physically attractive goalkeeper for the United…
It is 2 pm on the outskirts of Akron, Ohio. My airport shuttle leaves the hotel in Cincinnati at 5 pm. The GPS in this little blue Honda Fit is indicating a total driving time of 4:04, and it doesn’t know about the twenty-mile detour I spotted coming the other way. Also, on the drive…

Please give a warm welcome to Ronnie and check out his story of a forgotten bluesman — JB How would you feel if you have had a meaningful career in your chosen field, with some level of success and fame, but one of…
Today is the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare,” as its more widely known. Not coincidentally, Ted Cruz announced his candidacy for President of the United States today. Cruz has been the most vocal and most widely known critic of Obamacare. He filibustered to attempt to defund large parts of…
So there I was about two weeks ago, having just sat down in a meeting with a customer, when I started to get migraine symptoms. My right hand and foot got tingly and numb, and my vision started blurring slightly. “Great,” I thought to myself. It had been a couple of years since I had a…
One of the best worst things about the Internet is how many “experts” there are on every single subject under the sun.
