I don't enjoy discussing controversial subjects and I'm not about to start now. However, there seems to be a growing roar that I feel like I need to address. It's the idea that anyone that disagrees with you must be a stupid doofus.

I realize it may be awkward to try and talk to a street intersection, but awkward has never stopped me in the past and isn't about to stop me now. I have some thoughts for 36th and Broadway in Quincy.

I grew up in the Hannibal/Quincy area. My parents built a house here. I've seen the market change a lot over the years, but I've never seen a more difficult time to find a good rental than right now.

I've waited nearly 8 years to say this. It's so good to finally be back home here in the tri-state area. It's been a long time coming.

Some grills have gauges on them that tell you how much is left. But if yours doesn't, there's still an easy way to figure it out before you start cooking.

I realize the game needs some tweaking, so I have come up with what I think is a solution to the extra inning rule that will make everyone a little happier.

For 14-months I have worn a mask everywhere I have been. Grocery shopping, going into a business or restaurant. Everywhere it was required I worn one. This past weekend, I went mask-free and felt both weird and free at the same time.

Graduation season is here! And with that comes long (and sometimes boring) ceremonies. Would you rather sit in the hot sun (or rain) or be cool inside during the ceremony?
