A huge congratulations to Dan Fife, his coaching staff and the Clarkston Boys Varsity Basketball for winning another state championship and making it back-to-back. I will admit I didn’t feel well Saturday morning, really it felt like my stomach churning. I boil it down to I was nervous for the boys because it only increased […]
I have finished seven weeks going coffee free. I will admit some days have been easier than others. I did want a cup of the delicious liquid last week before going into a game. I was tired and needed the boost. Alas, it was after 5 p.m. and since I had been without for so […]
With my 2-year-old vocalizing to get out of the meat department in the grocery store, I turned the cart to the right. I understood. He needed to move and see something different. I could have gone to the left, going into the produce but here I was in the bakery section teasing my son and […]
Thud. Five seconds of silence. Slam. Another five seconds of silence. Then, rattling of metal against metal as our 2-year-old son shakes the baby gate and speaks his native toddler tongue. It was time, wasn’t it for the escape from the crib to officially begin. He had escaped many months ago, but I don’t think […]

Here we are with two months left of 2017 and I was in a group setting when someone asked quite a few questions. One, did you fulfill the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year? Two, what goals do you have for the rest of 2017? Three, what goals do you […]
It’s Monday and the office is humming with activity as it is deadline and we are getting this week’s edition ready for you. It’s a special Monday as exactly 10 years ago, I arrived at the office for my first day with Sherman Publications. Now thinking about it, I really should have bought cake for […]
A beautiful beginning to fall – leaves are changing colors, Halloween candy and decorations are filling the store shelves and the new season was met with…very warm 80 degree days. It prompted me to sing: nn the first day of fall, Mother Nature gave to me, a sunny, warm ride to Clarkston’s football game in […]
