For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
I don’t want to brag, but I’ve been to every one of the forty-eight contiguous United States. I actually lived in five of them for more than a year. I know some of you are, right now, giving a collective “WOW!” Sadly, many more of you are calling out, “Who cares?” You should care. I …

Does anybody know the statute of limitations on robbing a bank? I could say I’m asking for a friend, but that would be a lie. You see, I robbed a bank once. Before you start dialing Crime Stoppers looking for the five-thousand-reward, you should know that I didn’t do it on purpose. In point of …
