Second chances… choose wisely
Sun, 02/23/2020 - 12:00am
What if your name was Joe Burrow or Ed Orgeron? Would you have to sell them on the benefits of “second chances?” At one time or another both were left for dead… only to bounce back to greatness for LSU’s football program.

Confessions of a seasoned parent
Wed, 02/19/2020 - 12:00am
When it comes to parenting, I’ve been around the block a time or two. Heck, I’ve practically worn out the course.

I’m experiencing parenthood all over again – through my daughter. To be honest, it’s easier watching it than actually living it. For sure there’s less sleep deprivation and wet, sticky kisses.
