Wendy and I went out to Phoenix, Arizona for the Grove Family reunion on the weekend of June 7th. After the weekend of fun family activities, we drove to Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas. Here are some of the pictures from that excursion. [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id="34" gal_title="Sedona"] [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id="35" gal_title="Grand Canyon"]

The Big Bang Theory – The End!
[caption id="attachment_6266" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] THE BIG BANG THEORY is a comedy about brilliant physicists Leonard (Johnny Galecki, second from left) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons, second from right), who are the kind of "beautiful minds" that understand how the universe works, but none of that genius helps them interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny (Kaley Cuoco, pictured middle) moves in next door.

The Steelers schedule has a relatively harmless early stretch punctuated by a Week 7 bye, but close with three of their final five games against future Hall of Fame quarterbacks -- Philip Rivers' Chargers, Tom Brady's Patriots, Drew Brees' Saints. The league's late-night darlings from 2017, Pittsburgh is slated to play in eight nationally televised games this time around; that's half of its season in prime time. Thanks to a random but significant quirk, the Steelers could have the AFC North wrapped up by midseason. How? They play five of their six division games between Week 1 (Cleveland Browns) and Week 9 (Baltimore Ravens), and only one more over their final eight games. If the Steelers perform well in those games -- and, overall, they have the NFL's easiest first half of the season based on opponents' 2017 winning percentage -- they could bury the Browns, Ravens and perhaps the Cincinnati Bengals early and provide all three little chance to make up ground. Pittsburgh's final division game will come in Week 17, at home against the Bengals. Steelers Toughest Test You know the drill by now. There will be a lot on the...Read More
