'The problem with winter activities is that, follow me closely here, they generally take place in winter.'

Happy Thursday peeps! I know it's cold but I can tell that Spring is on the way. We can actually see deer moving around in our back yard: Yep, won't be long now.

Last winter I had a terrifying incident happen to me while driving. A semi-truck had a ton of snow on it and a chunk fell off and hit my car! It took off part of my bumper before I even knew what was happening! Check out this
video from the Weather Channel of a similar situation. A truck drives under an underpass, throwing snow and patches of frozen ice from its top. Very dangerous driving and more common than you might think.
Seriously! Isn't there a law that says we have to clear the snow off our vehicles before driving? If not there should be!

A recent survey asked men what their least favorite holiday is. Guess what holiday was number 1? Yep, Valentine's Day. It's a day where relationship grenades are waiting to happen, the kind of foolish lapses in male judgment that banish scores of well-meaning dudes to the doghouse every year Cupid drops in. Tip toe around these Valentine's Day Landmines-- 10 of the most flagrant romantic errors. For instance, lingerie. Just to reiterate: It's not a gift for her--it's always a gift for you. But, if you're determined to buy something skimpy in anticipation of later that evening, make sure you get her measurements spot-on. Woe unto the man who buys a size too large. Learn from these mistakes, and you might have a more pleasant conclusion to your V-Day.

One of the things that makes college basketball great is that there are so many different teams from so many different conferences playing all around the country. Unfortunately, because there's so much diversity at the collegiate level, some of the most unique players and teams may never cross paths during the course of a given season. And while the schedules might not sync up, it's always fun to think about what some of the dream match ups in college basketball would be. Check out this list from The Bleacher Report of the Top 15 Dream Match Ups In College Basketball. Many of these players or teams meeting one another on the court might never happen, but hey, we can dream.
