Column: Nice ride, worms and all 
I had a worm stuck to my forehead Sunday afternoon.
It wasn’t for long. And it wasn’t on purpose. I haven’t joined a strange new worm-face cult. Although, maybe that’s not a bad idea. We could wear pink jumpsuits and roll around in the dirt.
But, I digress.

Column: Celebrating the middle of the pack

Column: It’s all yours for the claiming
In honor of my first significant outdoor bike ride of the year, I’d like to take a moment to talk about a true pioneer in the bicycling world.

Opinion A new beginning for Mary
Spring is just around the corner. My favorite weather guy promised a high of 57 degrees this week. For me the warm weather confirms the inevitable. Graduation is almost here. With only two months to finish the final projects for my master’s degree, the pressure is intense.
