Column: A fishy tale from vacation
I caught the biggest fish of my life five times last week. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t by skill, either. More pure dumb luck, I think.

Column: The great cooling debate
There was a great battle waged last weekend. OK, battle is probably too strong a word. So is skirmish, now that I think about it. I’d say kerfuffle, but that sound a little pretentious.

At the time, it appeared city council members agreed, having voted to direct city administrator David McKnight to prepare a lease for the new location in the Tamarack Ridge shopping center.

Brothers David and Jonathan Bovee are both working on their Eagle Scout
David and Jonathan Bovee are only a year apart, and they have a lot of the same interests. They compete together on the Farmington High School swim team. They even finish each other’s sentences. They have been in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts together for much of their lives, so maybe it makes sense that when it came time to go after the highest honor the Scouts have to offer they are doing that together, too.

You can hear the crack of the bat
In one sense, baseball is a game of numbers, numbers involving runs batted in, earned run averages, singles, two-baggers, homers, attendance. My late friend Dave Goldsmith subscribed to Baseball Digest, several baseball newspapers and even flunked out of a college because he spent his entire freshman year memorizing baseball statistics.
