My mom was recently able to make a trip from Wyoming to visit us over Labor Day weekend. During her near-week stay, we watched the University of Wyoming football team play a ranked Texas Tech team in a game nationally televised on CBS. I have watched hundreds of Wyoming games on various networks, but it was a real treat to see them get the primetime slot on the second-most-watched network in the country. It brought back memories of the last time they had a primetime spot on a “big three” network and a bus trip that never seemed to end. A few... Full story

I was saddened last month when I heard the news of the passing of Bob Barker. Growing up, he was always a fixture on the television during the summer months when I was home alone and had complete control of the television. This was back in the day when you had to get up and walk to the TV, so you had to make wise decisions for viewing because scrolling through channels wasn’t a thing unless you could convince a sibling to sit right in front of the screen. A staple in the summer months, “The Price is Right” was also a fixture on sick days.... Full story

In my weekly column, I will often touch upon various stories from my childhood. While it is always fun to reminisce about a wonderful event, there are also times that I cringe at some of the stupid things I did as a kid. The other day, I read a post online from a friend from elementary school. Thinking of our friendship really brought back some memories of grade school. Most of the stories were of better times, but a few made me shake my head. One of these painful memories involved a class discussion about the ocean. I was probably in third or... Full story
