Minivan camping

Fall break was looming ever closer on the calendar and soon we would have five days with the emptiest of nests. So, Kindra and I decided to take a quick camping trip. I’d cover football Thursday night, and then we’d head out for a camping location that we hadn’t yet selected.

Letter to the editor

To The Editor, I have a confession. I am an addict. My ability to build and to destroy has been equal. As I work to figure out what it is that makes up this part of me the only thing that matters to me is what’s next. It’s silly for me to deny that addiction has been a driving force in my life.
