A long break is over and I’m ready to get back on the sports beat.
I never cease to be amazed at what show biz people will put on the tube, and I’m even more puzzled by why some people will watch some shows.
The Texas A&M University System has taken a hard line against vaping, prohibiting it on all of its properties — not just its 11 universities.
It’s unfortunate to see, but beef is now one more item on the growing list of political disagreements dividing Americans.

If you told eighth-grade Zach that he’d be signed up to run a half marathon in 2017, he’d laugh right in your face. And yet, here he is, however many years later, earnestly preparing for a 13.1-mile race.
I’ve lived the last year of my life convinced that I was maliciously lied to by a stranger who I met on a trail in the river bluffs last New Year’s Day. Some of you might remember that story: It was almost dark on New Year’s Day 2016 when I convinced myself I was lost on some rogue trail in …
There’s some things I just haven’t been able to get off my mind lately. Up soap box.

I had to psych myself up to get back in the car this summer for another road trip. It goes without saying that children in a car for any extended period of time results in crankiness, hunger and boredom. Ever since the size of my family grew, we began to drive everywhere. After we had our fi…
Gathering around the dinner table to share a meal and conversation with my family is one my favorite things we do together. With children ranging in age from 8 years old to 20 years old, the range of topics is wide and sometimes changes quickly.
