This weekend was my bachelor party. Instead of writing for this website I was busy jumping out of an airplane and trying to drink Denver out of Coors Lite. That is why this week I’m happy to have James Westling contribute with a guest article. James is an award winning broadcaster from Salina, Kansas. Without further ado…
