It’s hard to believe 25 years have slipped into the future since that second day of infamy in American history. It was beautiful late summer September morning, all seemed right in the world as the day began. I was meeting my Father for coffee before beginning the workday. The conversation was sure to be about
It is difficult to believe that 25 years have passed since September 11th. It often feels like it was a year ago, while simultaneously feeling like several lifetimes ago. Especially when I think about how much my life has changed in the last 25 years. It’s still hard to believe that there are full-grown adults
I am writing this article to hopefully raise a little awareness and maybe save someone from falling into one of the fad diets that seem to be everywhere. I fell victim to them too. Intermittent fasting. Cutting carbs. Trying different ways of eating because I thought there had to be some secret to losing weight
I know, I know. I’m writing about reading again. Because it’s important, and it is that deep. And it just so happens that every year on September 8, the world celebrates International Literacy Day — a day dedicated to recognizing the importance of literacy and the enormous impact reading and writing have on individuals, communities,
Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Fall, Y’all. I know we still have Labor Day ahead and the official beginning of Autumn is September 22nd, but with all that’s going on this month, I was inspired to get out ahead of the season. Before I start talking about Home Improvement and
As I crossed the Market Street Bridge early this past Friday morning, one thing caught my eye. The bright lights at the Little League baseball complex shining through the heavy fog. As you know, Thursday was a complete washout. When I managed Little League Baseball, I always enjoyed having the kids or coaches tell jokes
It’s the 2nd week of Little League, and we’re getting deeper into the brackets every day. That means we’re inching closer to a championship — and, with it, the end of summer. And you can feel it already: the days are a little shorter, the nights are a little cooler, and the first days of
When I tell people I run and actually enjoy it, I usually get some crazy looks. Sometimes I even get an eye roll. And honestly, I get it. There was a time when I thought running was the absolute worst. Growing up playing sports, running was usually a punishment. It was something you did to
What an amazing time of year to live in our little corner of God’s green earth. First up, if you are in town for the 79th playing of the Little League World Series, let me welcome you. I wish you and your team, as you spent this summer on this fantastic journey, good luck, great
Well, here we are again. The unofficial beginning of the end of summer. The last couple of weeks before campfires and long evenings are replaced with early mornings and new backpacks. In other words — it’s Little League World Series season in Williamsport! And while I’m a little bummed to watch another summer fly by
The greatest event in youth sports will be on our cover and featured within our pages for the next two weeks. I am sure most of my readers know Little League baseball and softball are also the largest youth sports programs in the world. It’s hard for me to even get my mind around that
I don’t like it. You don’t like it. But, unfortunately, our dislike doesn’t stop the march of time. And that means summer is winding down and the new school year is right around the corner. Again, just because it sucks — and it does — doesn’t mean we can ignore it. So what can we
