Last night I lost a very special friend. Casey was 19 years old and I met her and her family through Make-A-Wish. Her mother was not in the picture; her sweet grandmother raised Casey on her own, difficult to do under normal circumstances but Case...

I'm now at the age where there are no more whistles at construction sites and if I get a horn blow from a truck driver passing by (who's probably blind in one eye), well, I'm in heaven at this stage of the game, you know? The other day I was at a ...
