Golf. They call it the “sport of kings.” Actually, that’s not right. That’s what they call horse-racing. But we feel golf should be called the “sport of kings,” because it’s one game a king could conceivably play. Have you ever seen a monarch on a racehorse? No, you haven’t, not since Louis XIV at least. ...
Batter up! What sport can bring Americans together better than baseball? Not one. Not a single danged one. Just close your eyes and picture yourself in the top-tier seats in a baseball park in the middle of June. A raspy voice announcing players’ names over a crackling loudspeaker. The crack of a bat. The flash of ...
What creature in the animal kingdom has more mystique than a horse? None, that’s what. Horses have commanded our daydreams since we were little children.

I’ve been subscribing to the Nomadik Outdoor Gear Box for about 6 months, but I think this one was my favorite! Each month, you receive various items to use outdoors for camping, hiking, climbing, or just sitting in your yard. They just started doing a Welcome Box, so this is the box all new customers will receive ...
This is about my 6th Nomadik box review and this one had some fun items in it. Nomadik is a subscription Box for outdoorsy people who like to hike, camp, climb, or just escape to the woods. The theme was Camp Kitchen so we obviously had to attempt to review it in a tent in the backyard. Unfortunately, it is 90 ...
This is my 3rd month of receiving the Nomadik Outdoor Gear Subscription box and I have enjoyed receiving them each month. Each month, you receive products that can be used for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, climbing, and more. This month, I received three items in the May 2020 box; hiking socks, a ...
I was with the Peace Corps in Belize from 2006 to 2010 and it was the best time of my life. It was sometimes awesome, sometimes lonely, but always memorable. When you are living in a foreign country, gifts from home mean so much more, so I compiled a list of the best gifts for Peace Corps volunteers. Some of these ...
