Soccer fans want us to believe that their sport is more popular than baseball. Maybe for the next few weeks, but that’s because our nation is temporarily filled with foreigners who are almost as passionate about their national teams as Chicago... more
I have undertaken yet another remodel project on our house. My husband has long ago learned not to ask questions and just trust the (my) process. It is safer for him that way. But this time, the children are both pretty curious about the project.... more
Officials across New Mexico are considering moratoriums on new data-center development as local debates intensify over the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure. This would be a mistake. Data centers can innovate New Mexico’s economy and... more
For sports fans, it’s that time of year. This June, we can add the World Cup to the NBA and NHL finals, all in the middle of baseball season. When championship season arrives, the watch parties follow. Crowds in Carolina and Las Vegas packed... more
The idea of being a dad has, in my opinion, changed over several generations. In my grandfather’s generation, dads were providers. Mothers handled the household and the children. From what I’ve been told, they were more stoic, reserved and could... more
I struggled to decide on a topic to write about this week. So many competing stories and opinions have left me feeling like an island in a storm. I tend to push the boundaries. When I am fishing, I don’t want to quit (even if the fish aren’t... more

Steve Wheatcroft is a former professional golfer who woefully satisfied the moniker of “journeyman” during his 17 years playing on the PGA Tour and its affiliate tours. Wheatcroft, who played college golf at Indiana University, turned pro in 2001... more
This past weekend, I had the distinct pleasure of being invited to a profoundly unique and inspiring event, showcasing our area’s culture and fortitude. I was honored to be invited to the boxing event on Saturday hosted by Crosstown Boxing and... more
The city always does it up right for the Fourth of July. Well, almost always. There was that one time in 2014 when they had Don McLean playing an acoustic, solo set at The Field of Dreams right after they had put in new turf, so everybody had to... more
Last week, the voters of New Mexico's Republican Party made their choice, and I respect it completely. Gregg Hull ran a strong race, and I congratulate him sincerely. Politics is competitive, and in a three-way contest, not everyone can win. But... more
When most people think about corrections, they picture the negative caricatures and stereotypes portrayed in television and movies. The reality is far more complex — and hopeful. Safety, security, and accountability are central to the New Mexico... more
