    Vince Flynn- bestselling author dead at 47

    Two year battle with prostate cancer. I've read every novel he's written, and had no idea he was up against this. RIP Vince. What an absolute suck ass day yesterday in terms of loss.

    My first novel

    Beginning in June of 2012, at the urging of my wife, I decided to check something off the old bucket list. It took nine months and I completed it at the end of February. Break It, my first novel. I don't know if it's worth a crap or not, but I enjoyed doing it so much that I have another one...

    $2,300 for a putter? Really?

    American Greed

    The firm my wife works for is an RIA. They manage investments for other folks. They are shutting down sometime in the next 2 months due to the firm's owner being nailed by the IRS for failure to pay taxes on income. He initiated some stupid employee leasing shenanigans back in the late 90s...
