A couple of months ago, fairly soon after I started my Friday “For Girls Only” series, I started hearing the comments from the guys. They didn’t want me to discriminate against them. They didn’t want to be singled out. And from Billy Coffey, I got a joking request to do an installment for the guys. [...]

As I’m sure most of you are aware, my good buddy, Jason and I have been doing Wednesday book discussions for quite a while. Recently, we completed our first book, Mad Church Disease, by Anne Jackson.
