When I was a kid, I used to take Flintstones Vitamins. I was a “Flintstone Kid – one million strong and growing.” The original vitamins came in shapes modeled after the cartoon’s characters, including Fred, Wilma and Pebbles Flintstone, Barney Rubble and Bamm-Bamm Rubble, Dino, The Great Gazoo, and the Flintstones’ car. The vitamins were […]
Without question, ‘Pulp Fiction’ is one of my favorite movies from the 1990s. The film follows Jules and Vincent, two hitmen played by Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta, and their misadventures in the Los Angeles underworld. The flick cemented Jackson as a certified star and relaunched Travolta’s career. The movie also features Bruce Willis, […]

In my career, I’ve probably read over 10,000 legal documents, such as wills, trusts, contracts, offers to purchase, briefs, motions, petitions and court orders. That’s why, after a long day, I like to sit on my comfy loveseat and read things like comic books or Star Wars novels. But even in my free time, I […]
When I was a kid, my parents were strict, but definitely fair. But one thing my mom would absolutely not tolerate was lying. If my sister or I ever got caught lying, we would get in huge trouble. We learned that early on, so we just didn’t do it (that, and the fact that my […]
Last month, we celebrated Presidents Day. When I was in grade school, we learned that Presidents Day was created to honor George Washington, who led our nation to independence from England, and Abraham Lincoln, who prevented our country from dividing and freed the slaves. However, the genesis behind this special holiday wasn’t patriotism and national […]
