A milestone is described as a “significant event or stage in the life, progress, development, or the like of a person, nation, etc.” Last December, I wrote an article regarding my milestone birthday of 39. The age of 39 has been, for lack of a better word, a special age for me. My mom was 39 years old when she …

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. While the actual holiday may be over, I am still feeling pretty thankful for a number of reasons. I have a great family, beautiful wife and daughters, terrific friends and a job I have always dreamed of. The list could go on and on, but you get the point. I am still feeling a …

KALAMAZOO – Taking on the top team in the ECHL, the Kalamazoo Wings (7-6-0-2) forced the South Carolina Stingrays (14-2-1-2) to overtime on Saturday night only to falter in the shootout and lose by a score of 3-2. With the win, the Stingrays remain unbeaten in regulation while on the road. Yanni Gourde put the K-Wings on the board early …

If you have any doubt as to whether the Grinch is real, I can attest that he is and he looks nothing like the green creature with the heart three-sizes- too-small that we see on TV. For my family, the Grinch was a middle aged man (I might be a little too generous with that comment) who tried to dampen …

KALAMAZOO-The Kalamazoo Wings continue to be haunted by the Evansville IceMen as they fell to a record of 0-2 on the young season. After a 2-0 win over the K-Wings last weekend, the IceMen defeated the K-Wings 2-1 on Saturday night. The Halloween spirit was alive and well as the ice was colored orange and the players were wearing one …

EVANSVILLE, IN – The Kalamazoo Wings kicked off their season on the wrong foot on Saturday night as they were blanked by the Evansville IceMen by a score of 2-0. In a rather uneventful game in terms of offense for the K-Wings, the IceMen scored the game winning goal in the first five minutes of the game and held on …

The Jim Leyland era has officially ended in Detroit. As you have most likely heard, the gruff but emotional manager resigned from his position just two days after the Boston Red Sox ended the Tigers hopes of a World Series berth. I am pretty bummed by the news. But at the same time, I am glad that he made the …

I have been biting my tongue, really, really hard over the past few months as it related to our government, the two parties, Obamacare and all that goes with it, including the shutdown that we just endured. I love talking politics and I really believe, even though it is hard at times, VERY hard, that most of our elected representatives …

I fell asleep in the recliner the other night. That rarely happens, but I was so tired that I ended up dozing off while watching TV. Everyone else was in bed; the living room was lit only by the TV, which by this time was showing something that comes on well after the local news. To be honest, I can’t …

Last week, among others, I made the following comment: “We can live our lives with regrets, I suppose, but I prefer not to. It can drive you crazy worrying about the ’what ifs‘ in life. Every single thing we do can be analyzed and debated, so why bother? So while I may wonder, I do not regret.” When I wrote …
