What is a real man?

This is a very open-ended question with no deadline to respond. When you hear someone say “a real man” what is the first thing that comes to mind? How do you define a real man? What are some traits of good men? Do you associate a real man with physical strength or someone who gives […]

the grass is always greener

The older I get, the more I start to appreciate the journey, versus the destination. Recently I have grown fond of working on the lawn.
