    Happy Fourth Anniversary?

    It was four years ago that America shut down, following in the footsteps of China, Italy, and others. COVID 19 had arrived on our shores, taken hold, and forced the US to close up shop. Originally, we were all told to hunker down and isolate for 2 weeks to flatten the curve and then (or so it seemed) it would be business as usual.

    Sometimes it Feels Like the Good Old Days

    Sports have always been a major part of my life. Growing up in South Bend, Indiana, Saturdays in the fall when Notre Dame was playing at home, were sacred.

    Please Research and then VOTE!

    March is only the 3rd month of the year, which means we have 8 months until the next presidential election. Eight months of television ads run by Political Action Committees and the candidates themselves. Two thirds of 2024 will be taken up by campaigns that promise no end to some of the nastiest, backbiting, fought in the gutter, politics we have ever seen. There will be no civility, no decorum, and certainly no pleasantries exchanged by the candidates as they are on the trail bringing their cases to the American people. We will spend less time on the issues and more time on personal attacks and verbal jabs being exchanged. Many will go to the poles and cast a ballot for the “lesser of two evils”, while others enthusiastically vote for one candidate or the other.
