  • The better-half knows I'm lazy

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoor Columnist|May 24, 2017

    I used to fight it and try to look busy, feigning ambition when I had none. Whenever I was asked what I was doing I would reply appropriately. “Oh, I’m getting ready to do this or that,” I would say, even if I had been caught in a stupor, staring into space.

It’s the perfect spot to indulge my slothful ways. Under a broad exp...

  • Now I own a tractor

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|May 24, 2017

    Somehow, something that was a tedious and sometimes strenuous chore became an experience that I never saw coming. My wife and I had been talking about upgrading our mower that cost me a whopping $35 a couple of years ago. I thought that it would be something that we would get in a couple of years due to other expenses we have as homeowners. But a couple of weeks ago it happened. This was after I was annoyed with my first attempt at mowing my yard this year. I was so annoyed that my bagger would...
