We are living in some challenging and complicated times. Back in the day when I was growing up, you could turn on the news and feel comfortable with the reporting.

The Loan Shark and Education
I'm not quite sure where to start with advice on education and precisely how to help pay for your child's education, but I will tell you my story.

BaseBall
No other sport has quite the same feeling as opening day for baseball. Even if you like multiple sports, football, hockey, soccer, basketball, opening day for baseball has a unique feel.

We Will Change
When this virus finally runs the course, it will eventually pass as a memory as a spec in time. It will not be long, it seems long now, but at some point, we will be saying "remember when."
