Character

by The Howitzer I have to admit it. I love to coach. If I had it to do all over again, I would probably go into coaching. There is such power in a team. With a team you can do so much more together than you can do by yourself. The thing that draws me [...]

By Greg Primm My lawn is looking really good this year.  It’s green, weed-free, and it feels great to walk on.  The last couple of weeks, I’ve felt an odd twinge of pride as I pull into the neighborhood and see the green blanket of sod in the yard.  It’s only taken two years, hundreds [...]

By Greg Primm Albert Pujols is regarded by many as the best player in Major League Baseball.  You wouldn’t know it though by the amount of publicity surrounding him.  He doesn’t make the tabloids or the entertainment shows.  He doesn’t get into trouble with the authorities like other athletes.  He just plays baseball at an [...]
