My recent column, where I reviewed Portal 2 and NASCAR 2011: The Game. Hat tip to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and a newcomer, Colorado Daily, for publishing.
I had two goals for this year's running of the TKPK5K (the local 5K that is run just a few blocks from my house). 1) Survive and 2) Beat last year's time. You might think this an easy task but, you see, I had a big hindrance affecting both those...
I can never say no to a grilling challenge. I will freak out during all the prep and cooking, but when it comes out good I will sigh a huge sigh of relief and then typically relish in my victory over the food. And then I also devour it like...
