Crashing The Gate

Cornbread Roux

By Brian Clarey
I figured something out today, an extension of a lesson I learned in college, though it wasn't something I picked up in the classroom. And to tell this story properly I have to admit something: For a time in the late '80s and early '90s, I was in a fraternity.

Crashing the Gate

By Brian Clarey
Jason Bohn owned the joint when he teed off on the 17th hole at Sedgefield Country Club on Sunday afternoon, the final round of the Wyndham Championship. He sat alone atop the leaderboard at 16 under par for his week's efforts, plus he was having the best round of the day.

Our losing season

By Brian Clarey

Deconstructing the funny

By Brian Clarey
I'm going to tell you something about yourself that you might already know, but may have forgotten: You think you are a pretty funny person.

Fire Island, the skier and the Ten Ant

By Brian Clarey
The army ant general lined up his 10 best ants, and paced in front of them. He got right into the first soldiers proboscis and gave him his marching orders. I want you to go out there and tell the truth! Now go! Go! And off the first ant scurried, to go tell the truth.
