They say that the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Now, I haven’t planned anything with a mouse lately (or ever), but I have with my family, and, to paraphrase Lizzo: why plans great til they gotta be great?

It’s a sunny, muggy Friday afternoon in August, and I’m standing on the field of Atwood Stadium, in Flint Michigan, with my family. It’s busy here, full of kids and adults interacting with each other. There’s an excitement in the air, too. Lots of laughter. Lots of smiles.

So, when the good folks at The RBC Canadian Open offered me a ticket to check out their event, I was all over it like Rory McIlory on a par […]
When I think of things to do in Cooperstown NY, I think of one thing – baseball. Similar to how golf aficionados, rever Augusta, Georgia, baseball fans like yours truly hold Cooperstown in the highest esteem. As such, many people flock there in the summer, especially during the Hall of Fame induction festivities. However, being so closely tied to […]

Of the numerous road trips that we’ve been on, the one that got the most confused reactions by far, is when I told people where we were going, was our recent visit to Fort Wayne, Indiana.
