My wife, whether she will care to admit it or not, fancies herself as somewhat of an amateur detective. She’s not out on the streets processing crime scenes or anything, but she’s watched enough true crime documentaries to pick up more than a thing or two about forensics and...

Back from vacation, and now I need a vacation to rest up. Spending many hours in airports getting home was the worst part about our trip. It took 24 hours from Vancouver to Cincinnati. After hearing friends talk about going to Alaska for years and the “oohs and ahs” they said...

Corbin’s Independence Day celebration Sunday evening seemed to go pretty well with some relatively nice weather for July. There were a handful of vendors selling things from lighted swords and inflatable aliens for the kids to funnel cakes and kettle corn in The Arena parking...
