Yesterday was an interesting day as the masses flocked to popular fast-food chain, Chick-fil-a, for what has been labeled as “Chick-fil-a Appreciation Day,” in support of owner, Dan Cathy’s, stance against same-sex marriage. It was reported that Chick-fil-a achieved record sales on this day.
Like many of you, I first heard of the movie "Magic Mike" from watching movie previews on my television (I never even heard of 50 Shades of Grey until it blew up on Facebook). I kind of got the gist of what this movie was about simply from the previews. I shrugged (maybe threw up a little in my mouth), and then didn't think anything of it. It wasn't until the movie was released that it entered my mind again.
My wife and two boys (ages 3 and 18 months) recently took a short family vacation to Branson, Missouri. We had a blast! This was our first real family vacation since our oldest boy was born. I learned a valuable lesson while on this trip. I had to learn to experience fun differently. Before children, my wife and I could go to places like Silver Dollar City (SDC) and go crazy riding roller coasters and water rides. We could stay in our hotel and watch movies, take a dip in the pool to cool off, or relax in the hot tub with no worries.
