Chip Shots: Old TV Shows And Movies – Rewatch Or Toss?
I’ve had sports on the brain all through the completion of last night’s Max Truex Invitational. Now, about one hour before print deadline, I’m tired of thinking and writing about sports.
The Penalty Box: To Shift Or Not To Shift
I was watching baseball Sunday, mainly because rain and storms chased us inside. The common theme throughout the two broadcasts I watched could be summarized by the phrase that starts “after the league bans shifting next season.”
Chip Shots: April Showers Bring May…
…showers * heavy sigh.* At least they do here in Northern Indiana. I’ve managed my expectations, so I’m neither shocked nor disappointed. I’m just prepared for lots of schedule changes. I gain solace, however, from the NBA playoffs, whose television ratings were the highest in eleven years.

I wanted to devote my space and time this week to what happened at Grace College in Winona Lake last week.
