One night last week we came across the old, animated Christmas classic movie, “Frosty the Snowman.” Just had to stop and watch it again for old times’ sake.

My three favorite movies during the holiday season are “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Miracle on 34th Street,” and “A Christmas Carol.” All three are classics; all three are inspirational; all three offer lessons we all can use to be better...

I am not a fan of the old adage “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” I have been known to rebut with “Well, then I’d just as soon hold his head under.” But then again, that could lead to a drowned horse.
I tried to...

The big fight in next year’s legislative session is shaping up to be a battle between an unlikeable force and a detestable object.

When I was 12 years old, my Little League baseball team faced a decision. We had played a game earlier in the season that we were unable to finish because of weather or some other occurrence.

If we think about it the game of golf is played in such a way that, know it or not, we are forced to make choices and decisions at every point in our round. We decide what club to hit, what point to aim at, what line and speed to hit our putts,...

Not long ago, I rewatched the film “Erin Brockovich” with my partner. We had been talking about powerful women—particularly those who are often dismissed because of who they are or where they come from. They had never seen the film, so we watched...

For example, there aren’t any “sand traps” as such, only grass and sand...
