Please forgive me, but the pressure is too great to not publish this column. Full disclosure: I’m a New England Patriots fan, but like anything else in DeflateGate, that doesn’t matter. You see, the whole Wells Report uproar isn’t about Tom Brady, Bill Belichick or the Patriots. It comes down to one thing: Just how […]
As I venture into my 54th year of continuing education on the phrase “no good deed goes unpunished” comes the latest lesson from the great nanny state known as a “notice of decision.” I guess my last notice lesson from more than 10 years ago wasn’t fresh enough in my head to see this one […]
In our 24/7 news world, it now seems as though we also have a 365/52 political season. We went through our county, state and national elections in November and just got done with our city elections this month. Now contenders are already lining up to become the next president of the United States. It never […]
And then we’d never have another problem in our society, what with all of the know-it-alls running around. Nirvana in a nutshell. Maybe we could skip the elections and declare everyone a winner in the same way we give out trophies for participation and every problem would then be solved. Hey, it’s a better alternative […]
For some unknown reason over the past several weeks, I’ve been bombarded with the topic of parenting. I’ve been in the role of single parent for 2 1/2 years and think I’ve done a pretty good job. But I must admit, the long breath I sometimes take when the kiddos go back to their mom’s […]
The Business Times recently received a response to the editorial published in the Jan. 15-28 edition. In the editorial, we asked what our readers and advertisers would like from us in the coming year to make us a better publication. We noted that our local chamber of commerce does this every year, as do many […]
As the one of the few, fearless, resident New England Patriots fans in Grand Junction, I have to just shake my head and laugh at the insanity of the news coming from the northeastern United States. And as a reference to my last column, you can now count me among the folks who say, “I’ve […]
It’s that time of year when resolutions and prognostications abound. My favorite saying applied to New Year’s resolutions is in saying they’re basically a bunch of promises to break the first week of January. And while I won’t predict a whole lot, I can pretty much accurately nail a few things that without question will […]
The young lady athletes of Cheer and Spirit Express All Stars take their cheer and spirit of the Holidays and give back to those less fortunate in our community. When it comes to cheer and dance groups in Colorado and across the nation, few can compare to the success of the Express All Stars. Chances […]
Well, I don’t have a “true love” unless you count my daughters — but then the song would have to say “… my unconditional loves gave to me” and that just doesn’t work. But I digress. Christmas is the season about giving the best gift, and that’s what I believe God did with his Son, […]
