But, that will have to be a subject for another time!!!Unless you're from the Midwest you're not going to know what the hell I am talking about but remember life is a journey not the destination.A very popular outdoor game in Ohio is called Cornhole. The idea is to toss the bean bags into the hole for points. Well, we had this crazy neighborhood kid, Denny who was absolutely spectacular. His specialty was to toss the...
