Some people escape the world through books and movies, while others escape through the internet or watching sports. You prefer to get out and actually play sports. Work is stressful and can be full of loud noises as it is, so you prefer one of the more laid back athletic pursuits: golf. There are not many sports where you can go at your own pace and still win.

How did they get them so bright? The cosmetic dentist in Deer Park has the answers. (more…)
