After a brief hint of a taste of that normalcy,…

Let’s get bold. They say you can’t predict baseball and most of us spend a great deal of time trying to do so anyway.

I once had a middle school teacher explain priorities using an analogy about filling up a large space with various sizes of rocks. The most important things in…

There are a lot of way in which the 2020 MLB season is going to look a lot different than any we’ve ever witnessed before. Of course, the 60-game schedule stands out as the headliner among the changes as well it should. Perhaps next on the list, though, is the expansion of the rosters from 26, already up one from…...

You thought you were safe. Five words that drama has been built on for centuries. More specifically, it is what drives hyper tension and anxiety in drama.
