It’s tough to be a Spartan fan in Florida. We’re surrounded by Gator fans at every turn and it’s often challenging to find Big Ten games in area bars. We have been very lucky to have an active alumni association here in Central Florida. And we are even luckier that Orlando is a hot spot…
We had an amazing 2013 holiday season. It’s hard to believe that they have already come and gone. One of my favorite things was watching my son perform in his first school play. I was very impressed with how great the production turned out. He worked hard and practiced a lot. It was great that…

My oldest son, Danger Cook, has been asking to redecorate his room for awhile. I kept putting it off since we’re never around saying, “wait until winter break when we’re home.” Well, that was stupid. I didn’t think about how tired we would be from holiday fun, or how messy our house would already be…
