The United Football League and the NFL don’t play by the same rules.Not even close.And I knew this before I attended a game, so it should not have been a surprise.It was a surprise.

Birthdays (mine, that is) always bring a sense of self examining to me.

A while ago I enjoyed reading an article written by Bess Streeter Aldrich telling the reasons she lived in a small town.While we both loved/love the same small town – Elmwood, time has taken away some of the things Bess enjoyed.

It has been a few years since my children were babies!

Non-NFL football leagues may have had more than their share of second chances, but they’ve always offered players another way to continue their career.

Let’s just quit with the GOAT talk.I am not talking about the never-ending debate on which athlete is the greatest athlete of all time.

Memorial Day will be celebrated in a few days.

What does it mean to give your “personal best?”In track, that phrase means everything.Last week, as district track meets were contested, I had plenty of time to think about personal bests and the importance of comparing yourself only to yourself.From my time at Waverly, with the Nebraska City track team, to my time at Pawnee City, with the Lourdes track team, and to Tecumseh, with the Syracuse track team, my only thought was about how impressed I was with all the kids who went out there and had their personal best efforts.District track is all about Burke.
