http://shinyfastandloud.com/wp-content/themes/seotheme/mar.php So, last month, I was 3 feet away from Han Solo. We were, of course, under strict orders to not mention “Indiana Jones†or “Star Wars.†So, I had to come up with something else to ask the man who famously returned an “I love you†from Princess Leia with “I know.â€

We have crossed over into the surreal. Â Last month, we all watched in horror as events too impossible for a summer movie blockbuster played out on our television screens, our radios and our computers. The images were indelible and heartbreaking.
While we all had seen events such as these play out before – […]
Every year, my son and I pick one weekend to go on a “Man-cation” with the added benefit of leaving my wife alone for a weekend that she doesn’t have to cook and clean and do all of the other wonderful things that she does for us.

Friday night, at least 20,000 Royals fans piled […]

What a terrible day this is in Platte County. I thought you people had a sense of adventure.
Just over a year after its opening, the Shangri La of Sexy Time, the Bed and Breakfast of Boom Boom, the Romantic Getaway Today Inn in downtown Parkville has closed […]

I was talking with a friend recently about everything that’s wrong with social networking today. I think it’s great that folks seem to have embraced the idea of technology. Just a few years ago, I would never have dreamed of my mother sharing pictures of her grandchildren […]
If your bracket looks anything like mine, then you’re absolutely ready for Spring Training to end and Baseball Opening Day to get here. We look back at the week that was in Royals Baseball. We still have the best record. How neat is that?! We have some parting shots from our own Sports Reporters and […]
