And the 2016 Summer Olympic Games Go to Rio!

Go Veggie!

Barack Obama's First Pitch
I missed the opening ceremonies of the All-Star game last night so I did not get to see Barack Obama's ceremonial first pitch live. So this morning, I was making my hour long drive into work listening to talk radio. They spent a little bit of time ...
