Pennsylvania’s bass season is about to get into full swing; from April 8 to June 9, it is catch and immediate release only, but after that, you can keep four per day. I personally don’t keep any bass, but I sure do like catching them on lakes, ponds, and in rivers, and streams. Pennsylvania has

I was recently asked to tee it up in a few tournaments. I used to love golf, but now it’s totally different. Yes. I am back to coaching at my alma mater. I am enjoying my interactions with the Lycoming College Warriors. But I don’t play much. It’s cool. I don’t miss it. I seriously
There has been so much talk about the financial Armageddon that was going to occur if our leaders in Washington didn’t bump up the debt ceiling. I have been asked by many to write about this and have avoided it because I knew, at the end of the day, there was really no choice but
I am notorious for the Uncompleted Bucket List. It’s a terrible habit. I have all these big ideas and plans, and then — poof! — my timeline has passed, and I’m lucky if I have completed one or two items. That being said, does that keep me from making said lists and still being content

I don’t know about you, but one of the ways I get myself through the dreary bouts of winter weather is by dreaming up ideal summer activities, vacations, and trips. A big part of that daydreaming-as-self-care is planning (and in some cases fantasizing) all of the warm-weather outfits I’d wear. Now that we are in
Gatherings in the summer sun are all about easy, convenient recipes combined with the joy warm weather brings. Spend those special occasions with those you love most and make this summer one to remember with flatbreads, sliders and sweet treats for all to share.

As an avid outdoorsman and a wildlife artist, I am obviously very interested in our surrounding wildlife, and I like to keep tabs on what’s happening in the wildlife community. Recently a story on the possible sightings of Ivory-billed woodpeckers caught my attention. Understand that Ivory-billed woodpeckers were never a part of Pennsylvania’s wildlife, but
Water becomes the center of attention when the temperature climbs because of the cooling relief it can provide.

My full-time gig is with Susquehanna Marble and Granite. Yes. There is never a dull moment. I have been with the company for seven seasons. I am not the strongest guy, and these rocks are super heavy. I tend to break stuff, and my fellow work chums say I am a liability. I was banned

Next week Little League’s International Hall will be filled with volunteers and supporters as the pairings for
Rattlesnakes bring a vision of fear and dread in the eyes of many, maybe because they are a venomous woodland viper.
