Men tend to believe that if there is no fighting, bills are paid, and life is smooth, then the marriage is good. Meanwhile, their wives are moving the emotional furniture, attempting to “fix” something that doesn’t seem broken. It is frustrating, confusing, and sometimes insulting. The thing is, though, that most of her “fixing” isn’t…
Ok, what can I say about Superman? He is perhaps the greatest superhero of them all. To me, he is an inspiration, an everlasting beacon of hope and goodness who captured my imagination the first time I picked up a comic and perused through its pages. He is the kind of character that resonated with…
