Goals Sometimes you need a goal to plan a bachelor party. When one of my good friends was getting married in 2008, our goal was to push him out of his comfort zone. He is possibly the most reserved person I know. Fortunately, he was a good sport about it all, so we ended up…

Shooting (each other and paper targets), flying in gliders, and drinking…oh, my. We still hadn’t seen Charles Barkley, but we held out hope. The second full day was starting, and we woke up…
