Bowl Season is always bittersweet. It provides us with non-traditional matchups in non-traditional venues. At the same time, it signals the end of the College Football Season. This year, I was able to attend three games – including the “Granddaddy of them All.” Continue reading One Week. Three Bowl Games!

I try to make it to at least one Diamondbacks game per year with my daughter. With only a week remaining before she heads to Orlando for an internship with Disney, the options were growing pretty slim.

The NFL teams are all jockeying for position – whether it be for the playoffs or draft picks – it’s always interesting. Unfortunately, for the Bills, it always … Continue reading Football, football and more football!

Jessica’s high school, Xavier, hosts an annual Father/Daughter night out at the Diamondbacks. We’ve attended for the past two years. This year, it was the same night as Emilee’s school’s largest … Continue reading Father/Daughter Time!
