Editor, Let’s not beat around the bush. I am tired of ignoring the obvious. Donald Trump wants to run this country whether he has the votes or not. Donald Trump refused to recognize that he lost the election to Joe Biden. He tried to get the Georgia secretary of state to “find” enough votes for him to win Georgia. He tried to get Mike Pence to certify that he won even when the official vote tallies showed he did not win. He encouraged his supporters to go to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, and storm the capitol. It is am...

Back in July, I took a big step in my single life. I adopted Lola, a sweet dog, raised by friends who had rescued her mother, abandoned, heavy with pups, from homeless life on the streets of Oconahua, sleeping in doorways, eating garbage. I like animals. I like pets. Dogs. Cats. Pigs. Rats. Yes, rats. When my daughter was 3, I went to buy a guinea pig but the pet store owner talked me into a pair of Chinese hooded rats. Rats make excellent pets, are intelligent, affectionate...

The giant, ungainly creature looked ridiculous, perched on the little wooden roof of a feeder intended for chickadees and nuthatches. “She has been hanging around for two days now,” my mother wrote. “Maybe our Thanksgiving dinner?” Even before my mother sent this, I was thinking Thanksgiving looked a little strange this year. I’ve heard the complaints, year after year, about how we’re rushing the...

Wow. Where has the last year gone? It’s amazing how time flies, but alas, its is Thanksgiving, and I for one am plenty thankful. For starters, I'm thankful that, my family and my loved ones are healthy and safe. Right now, I know we can’t all say that, and I feel very blessed. I’m thankful for my family, too. My wife, who puts up with an awful lot, and our three four-legged kids, I love my family. Of course, this is the sports page though, so a Thanksgiving column wouldn’t be...
