I love football.

Texas A&M may have trademarked the phrase "12th Man," but the Aggies can't own what any stadium full of faithful fanatics creates anew with each and every game.

Grasshoppers Gone Wild!

If you thought there were more grasshoppers around Larimer County this summer, you thought right! Listen to what I think, as written in "The Coloradoan" Sept. 22:

Thanks for your time, as always.

When I was 21...

It was a very good year. Not as good - as in moral - as my daughter's, though. Listen to why as I wrote in my August 25, 2011 "Coloradoan" column by clicking on the link below:
