A really good creative writing teacher once told us, when you get discouraged, remember that, at some point, you’re have written better in your life than your favorite writer. That is true for many things. My band was doing better at the end of our run than the Eagles were when they started.

Guys, if you don’t believe this is true? Look at these two guys down here:

Yes, the top is George Clooney. The kid in the first row holding the basketball in the middle in the Prince Valiant/Rachel-from-"Friends" 'Do? Brad Pitt.

A Nevada bill would allow dogs to use medical marijuana. Because my dog doesn’t spend enough time begging for snacks and lying on the couch and scratching himself.

Since you asked:

The city of Carson continues to negotiate with the Oakland Raiders for a stadium. And why not? It’s not like the Raiders have screwed-over a city before. Well, except for Oakland twice, Los Angeles and even Irwindale, a town where they didn’t even play. 

What’s that old expression? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me four times and you’re dealing with the Raiders.
