Several years ago, I had a vision of using words to convey my thoughts and voice my opinions, so I started a blog. In the beginning, I had aspirations of writing becoming my career after I had served my time in the military. This journey began shortly after my divorce, so the easiest thing I…

Twenty Years
Last week I hit another milestone in my military career. Twenty years earlier, on 9 February 1996, I made a trip to the Knoxville Military Entrance Processing Station and took the oath to defend my country and my state. I joined the Tennessee Army National Guard for the Montgomery GI Bill and to have a…
Shave the Date! It’s Movember!
It’s the first of the month! It’s time to Mo! If you don’t know what Movember is, please take a few minutes to check out the site. It’s a really good way to raise money and awareness for men’s health. For those of you that are too lazy to click on the link, here is…

2014 has been a tremendous year for me! Through all the ups and downs, although there were more ups than downs, I must say it was a great year. Below, in no particular order, are fourteen things that made this year so great! 1. I attended the SECHC Tournament as credentialed media. 2. I made…
It’s Time To Mo!
Cancer awareness is at an all-time high. It seems that you can’t turn on a television during the month of October without seeing a college or professional sports team donning the pink to raise awareness for breast cancer. The NHL has supported the fight against cancer with their Hockey Fights Cancer campaign where each team…
My Latest Venture
If you know me, then you know how much I’ve enjoyed becoming deeply passionate about the game of hockey. Five years ago, I could have probably named you just two players that played in the NHL at one time. I probably would have told you that both were still playing, although one retired in 1999…
One Year With The Pup
I received a “Happy Anniversary” card in the mail yesterday from the Nashville Humane Association. Has it really been a year since I adopted this adorable puppy? Apparently it has been. I picked her up a year ago at the Bridgestone Arena prior to the Nashville Predators/Chicago Blackhawks game. I adopted Zoey before the game…
I’m Moving On
Almost fourteen years ago, I made a decision that completely changed my life. Two years earlier I made a decision that would have me bouncing around from job to job. Dropping out of college was definitely not the best idea, but as a young newlywed, with a baby on the way, I did what I…
It’s Mo Time
It’s that time of year again! Basketball is just tipping off. Hockey is gliding along. Football is in mid-season form. And baseball is rounding third and heading home. Turkey Day is just around the corner and Santa’s big visit will be here before you know it. Cancer awareness is at an all-time high. It seems…
Laws Family Tradition
There are some family traditions that you just look forward to more than others. I never look forward to family reunions. I do, however, love spending time with the Kiddo during his Christmas break and the times we hit a local golf course. But I guess my favorite family tradition started just a few years…
