The Soccer Dad Club Scores One More Member
SITE AREA: Family - Family Features
Had I been watching the World Cup or something like it, my response last Wednesday afternoon would have been entirely justified. My favorite player had just taken a pass from a teammate, dribbled past a defender and kicked the ball into the goal - or at least that's what I saw through...

Ann on Aging
SITE AREA: Health - Seniors
At least once a week a well meaning friend sends me an e-mail on aging. It's bad enough I have to look at the ravages of aging every morning when I brush my teeth, let alone when I open my e-mail. I'm comforted by the thought that I'm not alone and that many of these vignettes are qui...

Longtime SCV resident Cathy Duus had no idea what was coming the day she decided to hang her first hummingbird feeder in her backyard back in 1995. But there were a few clues. That first feeder - the same no-frills, 16-ounce feeder you'd find at Target or Wal-Mart - emptied fast, susp...

SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
Ever marveled at the handiwork of the street painters? With little more than a handful of colored chalk, a model picture and a good pair of kneepads, they can turn a patch of ordinary asphalt into a stunning work of art. In a matter of hours, these street virtuosos can take the very g...

SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Get Out of Town
I had lunch with the governor a while back. Yes, that governor. I'm not sure why he wanted to have lunch with me. I'm not a big campaign contributor, or even president of the Kindergarten Cop Fan Club. He didn't actually invite me to dine with him. Come to think of it, we weren't even...
