Damn I’m Getting Old

It’s The Toe That Counts
Jeff and I have been friends for years. It’s one of those friendships that burn slow like lit charcoal, with enough effort the fire keeps going. I would call it a low maintenance friendship which might look like a bad thing but in fact it is one of the best things a guy can experience. […]

10 Things Every Good Bar Must Have
There is a scary trend among Kenyan bars lately. They have become blood-sucking and energy-draining spots that only come alive during the night.
