Trials of Traveling After getting the paper out last week, I hopped on a plane and headed to New Hampshire to see family that I don’t get to see very often. I don’t know if you’ve watched the new T.V. show, “Pan Am,” but among other things, the show reminds us of how it used […]

B-Ball in DT Part I With the graduation in June of our youngest son from Crescenta Valley High School, there was some sadness in our household that we no longer would have the chance to see our boy play basketball. Danny played Falcon ball all four years at CV and long before that in organized […]
