Lazy Sundaes Ice Cream Run – Friday July 31

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. Are we unpatriotic? Do we not commemorate great days in American history? Is not Ice Cream a standard for liberty, justice and sugar (just not in the car, OK?). What better […]

2019 Endurance Donut Run

An old proverb states: “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb”. Well, here in Kentucky, it’s more comes in like a lion and hangs around like a feral boar. Scheduling drives means potentially contending with rain, sleet, ice, cold, sunshine, and that’s all in one day. This past Saturday, a […]
