I found myself driving home from a game. The Millionaires were on the road. We made two trips to the greater Harrisburg area this week. No worries. I enjoy my time on Route 15. I listen to music and think. I felt bad for my behavior last night. I was in rare form. I am
It was a lesson learned long ago when my interest in journalism was in its infancy. A scribe well-versed in the occupation passed on his warning – ‘If you ever become a columnist, don’t include your personal opinions regarding politics or religion in what you write.’ That advice is spot-on, as those of you who
I was watching television the other night; it was a program that was fun and entertaining and one that I’m sure many of you have also seen. The half-hour program is called “World’s Funniest Weather” and features people who are caught on video making dumb mistakes or who fall victim to some kind of indoor
Since 1996, the population of monarch butterflies in the Eastern United States has declined by about 90%, and one of the biggest reasons is loss of habitat.

Days after Penn State’s hopes for a national championship were dashed by a series of questionable play calls and lack of execution, the topic of conversation at a church social gathering was predictable.

I’m sure it’s no secret that me, my wife, and several of my buddies love to spend time on the ice during the winter months. Over the last few years, safe ice has been hard to come by, but fortunately, we were able to get on the ice several days at the end of December.
There are good days and not such good days to head to the woods to do some habitat work. The past few days, with temperatures below zero and wind chill temperatures well below zero, were not good days! But as things warm up a bit and we return to more comfortable conditions; it will be
Since 1962, the Harlem Wizards have entertained and delighted audiences across the country while raising money for worthy causes. The Wizards will return to Williamsport on Thursday, January 23, at the Williamsport High School basketball court, affectionately known as the “Magic Dome.” This event will help raise funds for the Williamsport Area School District Education
In the waning moments of a game whose eventual outcome had been determined, the smallest player on the team received a pass on the right wing and eyed the hoop, ready to shoot. Just as the ball was released, the referee’s whistle blew. A foul was called, and the shooter stepped to the foul line,
The Nittany Lions reached the College Football Playoffs. They won two games and made it to the semifinals. Unfortunately, costly plays down the stretch led to their demise, and they were defeated by Notre Dame 27-24 in the Orange Bowl. Penn State’s season is over. They were one game short of a national championship appearance.
Believe it or not, the hunting season is not over yet; several species of small game can still be hunted. Squirrels, pheasants, and rabbits are still in season until the 28th of February, although pheasant hunting is pretty much limited to those areas that the Pennsylvania State Game Commission stocks. Like a lot of hunters,
