Fifteen months before the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, the fight leading to the birth of our nation rang out with the battle of Lexington & Concord. That April 19, 1775, skirmish amounted to spring training for the Revolutionary War, with the scoreboard showing Minutemen 1, Redcoats 0. On that historic day, 49
We’ve all shared the experience. The passing of a loved one or dear friend fills our thoughts and conjures up memories we’ve shared. It’s hard to let go. For me, another one of those life-sadnesses occurred a few weeks ago, when good friend and colleague, Mike Fogarty, suited up for the team above. Mike could
Before I begin, I need to chime in. Jensen experienced a minor mishap. Too good not to share with the general public. He’s fine. I wrote an epic poem that has gone viral. The photos helped describe Jensen’s attempt in the kitchen. I gave him an A for effort. The poor kid had a learning

You could join a hunting camp or buy
I’ll be honest, every time I head out to a lake or stream for some fishing, I’ve pretty much decided what species of fish I intend to pursue. My reason for that approach is to choose the right equipment, lures and presentation to accomplish a successful trip. This approach is especially true when I plan
Logan McGinn and I are buds. The now 14-year-old phenom is an absolute stud. Super polite and sweet. The kid can do it all. Please don’t let his age and size fool you. Logan McGinn is a superstar. I ran into Logan at the WCC Member Guest. He went out of his way to give
Championship performances often include similar celebrations. Excited athletes jumping for joy, trophies held high for all to see, and cheering crowds as teams rejoice after a long-sought objective is achieved.
