What if you only saw the world through one eye? I do.
I was 16 years old and I went to the DMV to get my license. I stepped up to the counter, filled out my paperwork, and submitted for an eye test. The lovely old lady asked me to put my eyes into the goggles [...]

Some of my fondest memories growing up were of playing sports. Countless hours were spent playing home run derby in the back yard, or pickup football outside of my house. Being an athlete is something that is in my blood, something I will always [...]

I work in soccer, as if that is a big surprise to anyone. As my life is dominated by everything that has to do with the beautiful game, my office reflects that on a daily basis. Often it is filled with balls, bags, hopefully washed jerseys and loads of great footy books, just to name [...]

Hopped on the road, 20 minutes later, speeding ticket. FTW!!
My wife called and said it had snowed in Buffalo and it might take a bit longer to get home. By snow she meant lots [...]
