    Can You Launch Whenever/Whereever?

    Something struck me tonight and wanted to pose the question . . . With the exception of launching on your own property, do people have access to launch when ever they want? Meaning, if you get an itch to launch one evening, can you just go out and launch then and there? Or, do you have...

    Haircut and Jersey Shore

    So yesterday I went and got my haircut. The young gal asked me if I was watching "Jersey Shore", to which I obviously said 'no'. I couldn't figure out why she'd ask a middle-age guy that question. So, in turn, I thought of a way to make a point. I asked her what she thought of Nancy Pelosi's...
