Tip of the Week

You may have read about the controversy over Major League Baseball’s new uniforms.  If you’ve missed it, the controversy is about the material – apparently, it is so thin that you can see through it, so that what you see is whatever the player is wearing under the uniform.  Since the uniforms will be worn…

At a NHL hockey game last week the players waited for the opening whistle, and then rather than begin a hockey game, they began a fight.  We think that’s childish.  On the other hand, consider all the great positives that have come from women’s basketball this year.  We have read story after story of good…

We know we’re in the month of madness. The University of Houston had a 10 point lead with only 1:24 to go. Somehow they lost it, and found themselves in overtime. In overtime they found themselves without four of their five starters who had all fouled out – including their All-America point guard and Big 12 Player of…

A week ago that loveable Sesame Street character Elmo asked his over 450,000 followers on X “Just checking in! How’s everyone doing?” To his surprise he was inundated with a lot of answers, and almost all were not good. It turns out many people are unhappy, sad, depressed and generally miserable because of the situation in Ukraine, Gaza,…

Most sports fans know that the Buffalo Bills’ Tyler Bass missed a field goal that would have tied the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. As always, whenever at the end of the game there is a great play to win, or a missed opportunity that results in a loss everyone focuses on that one…

Many people who made New Year resolutions have already given up on them. This week how about taking a look at the Code and choosing one tenet you want to work on for the next month or two, and then set a goal for yourself with it. The key to succeeding is to set a…

This is the time of year when everyone seems kinder, more patient, more generous and more concerned with others than the rest of the year. Hanukkah and Christmas occur in this time, but the spirit of the season seems to be one that is caught by all people, of faith or no faith. It is…
