Last week I visited Sam’s Club headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas where I was dually impressed by Sam’s quality demands on their food partners and the extensive product taste testing they do.

Since hurting my back and developing sciatica last year, I’ve had to cut back on exercise. Needless to say keeping the weight off has been a challenge – one that I haven’t met. It was time to start working out more often and at a higher level if I’m going to lose the 10 pounds [...]

My mom called this morning to ask me about the Fourmile Canyon Fire in Boulder, Colorado. Even though I live 30 miles away from the heart of the fire, it has affected us a bit. My children’s school is in Boulder County, so they’ve been kept indoors due to the poor air quality for the [...]
