I am referring to social COPD (Celebrity Obsessed Psychological Disorder), which affects over half of the 4.48 billion people who use social media today! It's disappointing enough to see what news networks have become. They've gone from reporting events as they … Continue reading COPD, the new pandemic!?

Last week, right after one of our family dinners, our son Joshua invited my wife Mari and I to preview "Old Time Religion," his very first mod for the game Fallout 4.
