This past week I was called upon to testify before the Ways and Means Committee at the Idaho Legislature. I have been in News and Sports in Boise for nearly 50 years, but seldom have I traveled to the Capitol. This was my second time being in front of committee in the past four years.…… MORE
Tarnished Legacy
In the 1980's there were two television shows (non sports programs) I could watch with my father. The first was Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes and the other was The Cosby Show. Please understand, my Dad and I have always had a great relationship, but he was not exactly a "talker" so I relied on these programs…… MORE
Big Night For Music
The Grammy's were on last night. And I actually enjoyed them, of course I missed the last hour because I have to get up super early for work. To start things off, ACDC was amazing. They opened the show perfectly and really got me excited for what was going to happen next. Then Ed Sheeran…… MORE
Honoring A Legend
Dean Smith died Sunday at the age of 83. Smith was the head men's basketball coach at the University of North Carolina for 36 seasons, from 1961 until 1997.

The welcome mat is a slip-n-slide.…… MORE
The KBOI “New” Guy

The 49th Superb Owl
It is always weird to watch a big game when you don’t have a dog in the fight. A couple of things stood out to me. The Seattle Seahawks used some imaginative play calling to take the lead at the half, and to lose the game in the fourth quarter. Coach Pete Carroll decided to go…… MORE
Friends By Any Other Name
Off the top of my head, I have 20 friends who are either gay or lesbian. Friends whom have invited me into their lives and whom I've invited into mine. Friends. People who I've broken bread with. People who I've laughed and cried with. People who I've argued with. People. Some are Christian, some are…… MORE
Smart Is….As Smart Does
I found out I needed glasses when I was in the fifth grade. I was sitting in the stands at a high school football game with my dad, and I asked him, "Why don't they make the players' numbers large enough to be seen from the bleachers?" He asked me what I meant. "It's too…… MORE
