St. Patty's Day
Untitled document Happy St. Patrick's Day - or should I say weekend? Area restaurants and bars have been promoting their St. Patty's Day events like crazy and are planning to entertain patrons all weekend. Many of the Valley's Irish - and non-Irish - will be overdosing on corned beef sandwiches ...
First-grade basketball mid-season report
Untitled document My daughter's basketball season is at mid-season, with Week 5 coming up this Saturday. Coaching a bunch of first-graders has been interesting - but fun.

How are you? Nevermind
Untitled document David Letterman has nothing on me when it comes to stellar Top 10 lists. At a former job, I was known for my amusing lists on whatever topic came up. Co-workers would challenge me with any number of things that I was expected to turn into a Top ...
Not a four-legged fan
Untitled document It seems like everywhere I look on Facebook, tons of people are posting photos of their animals. Whether it's a new family dog or a little kitten, it seems like they are everywhere. My view on pets is probably an unpopular one — I know it is with ...
