Birds of a feather

Growing up in the country, we didn’t actually have that many animals. Mostly, cats and dogs that came and went, with our Shihtzu Katie being the only staple from start to finish. But then, one summer, Mom decided that she wanted guinea fowl.

When I was a kid, I always found myself looking up at planes. Watching the massive objects float through the sky made me curious about where those people were going, who they were and what made them leave.

Why NBA coverage feels so toxic

I’ve been a basketball fan for as long as I can remember, and some of my favorite memories from the sport come from the incredible series between the Celtics and Lakers in the late 2000s.I would wake up early just to catch SportsCenter before school, and I couldn’t wait to get home for SportsNation...

Happy Birthday, Trey

My baby brother would be 30 today.That is a weird statement to me. First of all, the idea of Trey being 30 is so incredibly foreign. He’ll forever be 20 and gangly inmymind.Ornerywith a charming smile. The kind of guy who weed-eats in Wranglers, boots and no shirt.

I was an arts kid. This is a well established fact at this point.I did theatre. Joined the dance team. Tried out choir. I was even in band for two years in junior high.
