I never cared much for my name. Although not as much a burden as a “Boy named Sue,” the moniker Parker would not have been my choice.

When I’d tell people my name was Parker, they’d often ask: “What’s your first name?” It set me apart from the crowd when all I wanted to do was fit in. My wife thought it still did when she called the radio stati... Full story

However I know of a few things I can. A brand new pair of pants. I will wear the life out of a p... Full story
