IT DOESN’T BOTHER ME A DAMN BIT!

Okay, so I just turned fifty years old…

I’m not keeping track of time.  Really.  I don’t care.  I DON’T!

It doesn’t bother me at all.  Not a bit.

Chicago – my kinda town!

When I blew into the Windy City, I headed straight for what is arguably one of the best darts bars in the States and got blown right back out… by a computer!

Now, I’ve probably whiled away more hours in more darts bars in …

Darts in the “Last Eden” – Congo’s Nouvabale Ndoke Forest

To get to where I threw darts last night required a harrowing three-hour flight in a beat-up old Cessna – without maps or radar – through stormy African skies.  To stay safely (more or less) below the turbulence we …

Darts on Cape Cod… and “Chaos Theory”

It was 1996 when my wife and I last stopped by my local darts supply store (Truman’s, 608 Main Street, Route #28, West Yarmouth, on Cape Cod) to pat the head of the dog that hung out there, a sad-eyed mixed breed …
