The weekend of July 27 was a red-letter weekend for late baseball slugger Dick Allen and his family, friends, and supporters.

Talented people are gathering at ‘ESPNville’, preparing to tell the world what is happening at the Little League World Series. TV and the World Series predate ESPN’s arrival. In 1963-64,
No, I am not about to compare my and my wife’s fishing expertise, and besides, even if I claimed to be number one, she proofreads all of my stories, and something tells me that claim wouldn’t make it to press.

Every summer, I find it’s necessary to change up my makeup. A change to my makeup routine is a necessary pleasure. Sweltering heat, rising humidity, and icy blasts of air conditioning don’t exactly make the best conditions for the cosmetics I use in the winter and spring. And while there are a lot of beauty

I’m sure it’s no secret that I’m an avid trout fisherman, but it’s been a bit of a challenge for us trout enthusiasts so far this season. For example, one day last week, I managed to get a couple of hours in for trout on one of our local streams; the weather was great, and

As is often said, trends come and go, but style lasts a lifetime. This is said so often because it’s true.
