I had never considered myself to be a dog person. Not that I was anti-dog or anything; I just didn’t think they were for me. I was always a cat lady (and still am!). When Steve started talking about getting a dog four-ish years ago, I was a little hesitant. But I figured I’d be
It was a beautiful, sun-drenched, latesummer morning. It appeared all was right in the world. The early day’s sun was still very warm, the smell of fall was in the air.

The More it Stays the Same Wow! What a start to the Little League World Series, and as you’re reading this, things are just starting to get really interesting over on the Hill in South Williamsport. In my column last week, I focused on the Little League Pledge and the importance of doing things the

A major league welcome to everyone visiting our little corner of God’s green Earth for the Little League World Series. Congratulations to all the players, parents, and fans as you complete this amazing journey. Baseball is a game woven into the very fabric that makes up our Nation. It can be found within every stitch
