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,...

Dine Out for ‘No Kid Hungry’
Saturday, Sep 21, 2013

September means the kids are back in school, football is on television, and fall will finally arrive – although it is likely we will still have summer temperatures on the first official day of autumn). September is also Hunger Action Month, a month established to raise awareness about hunger in...

ABCs of the Santa Clarita Valley: Z is for Zero
Saturday, Sep 14, 2013

This is it – the final piece of the “ABCs of the SCV Series” – Z. Z is for Zero. No, not “zero ideas left,” but rather things to do in the Santa Clarita Valley that cost nothing. Zero! Some have been mentioned previously in the series, but now they’ll be in once place along with...

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...

An Orange Blog and a Coffee Can
Saturday, Aug 31, 2013

I can’t believe the ABCs of the Santa Clarita Valley are almost at an end – just Y and Z remain. Any guesses on what they’ll be? You’ll have to wait until next Saturday to see. I’m pausing this week to share a special challenge with you. With August drawing to a close and September just...

ABCs of the SCV: X is for X-ray
Saturday, Aug 24, 2013

I knew “X” would be a challenge, but then learned of an upcoming effort at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital and settled on X for X-ray, eXam rooms and eXtra love. On Sept. 8 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Henry Mayo is hosting a Donate-A-Bear event and encouraging individuals and families to donate teddy...

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”...
