    An “Oorah” Recognition, Veteran Thanksgiving, and Big Buck Repetition0

    My good friend Hal Gee threw me a perfect spiral a couple of weeks back to go with my Veterans Day story for 11/3. It was a beautiful pass, just like Hal and Lisa’s son Tyler throws for Coach Van Fleet and the Lancers. I’m not going to say I dropped it; I’m going with

    Placekicking Plankenhorn0

    Football old-timers may remember the story. During the 1970s Garo Yepremian, of Armenia descent, was a kicker for the Detroit Lions.

  • Christmas Shopping for a Fisherman0

    First off, let me be clear, I don’t know much about shopping — that is, going into stores and buying things unless those things are hunting and fishing things.
