A triumph to savor
Anyone driving past Centennial Diamonds on the afternoon of April 29 would’ve seen an unusual sight. After all, it’s not every day two 40-something guys are out playing wiffle ball by themselves. My brother, Ian, and I have played “wiffle” … Continue reading

Zipping to Zap
In an earlier blog entry, I spoke of a 1997 road trip from my then-home of Dickinson, N.D., to the tiny municipality of Ismay, Mont., which became famous when it accepted an invitation from a Kansas City, Mo., radio station … Continue reading

My grandmother, Grace Taylor McGaughey, would have celebrated her 96th birthday last week. Instead, come September, it will be 10 years since her death. And when December arrives — not the most appealing of thoughts, considering we’re still in the … Continue reading
Bowled over
I got a call from my sister Kate (she’s the daughter of my dad and stepmother, but I’ve always thought the term “half-sister” to be a bit dehumanizing) on Sunday afternoon, almost immediately upon getting in the door after driving … Continue reading
A diverse history
Each week since September, this newspaper has published — in its Tuesday edition — a story in an ongoing “Our Diverse Community: Inform, Educate, Unite” series. We have received an overwhelmingly positive response to these articles, and I am pleased … Continue reading
At the movies
The 69th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced Sunday night, and the event is a huge deal for folks who closely follow the entertainment scene. In addition to honoring the best in motion pictures, awards are given in television as … Continue reading
