Play Ball?
Saturday, Sep 28, 2013

I’m a sports fan. I really am. I grew up playing sports, and I always loved watching sports, especially football. I grew up in Texas, so football was a big part of my life because it was a big part of everyone’s life, particularly in the town I where I lived. I have two sons who, at least right now,...

ABCs of the SCV: Y is for Yoga
Saturday, Sep 7, 2013

Wow – I can’t believe the ABCs of the SCV are this close to being  wrapped up. For Y, I knew I definitely wanted to do “yoga,” as it something I find helpful for strength training, relaxation and centering myself – as well as stretching out my achy back every now and then. I also enjoy...

ABCs of the SCV: W is for the Winger Family
Saturday, Aug 17, 2013

I decided two weeks ago that “W” had to be for “We” in my ongoing “ABCs of the SCV” series, and I shared local community efforts to provide back-to-school supplies to children who need them. I am staying with the theme of “we” this week as I recently learned of a Santa Clarita Valley...

ABCs of the SCV: W is for ‘We’
Saturday, Aug 3, 2013

Initially for the letter W, I was going to share “water play places” in the Santa Clarita Valley, as summer wraps up with school just around the corner. I decided instead to go with “W is for We,” since I always try to find and share efforts in the Santa Clarita Valley that demonstrate “we”...
