Born and raised in Ohio, it was bred into me to love the Ohio State Buckeyes – especially the football program. Throughout the years, Buckeye football taught me many life lessons.

Did you know that the NCAA Eligibility Center has just published NEW requirements for the 2010-2011 school year regarding non-traditional courses?   Here is the news! 

I would not describe myself as a political person. I did study Social Sciences in my undergrad and took several political science classes.  But, I was also a secondary education major and learned to keep the “politics” out of teaching; try to avoid bias.  I do not typically take offense to “off color” statements about religion, political parties, races, ethnic groups, etc. And, I think that political correctiveness has made people overly sensitive.

I am not typically a person who jumps at every sales gimmick I see on tv or that gets past my SPAM filter in my email, but when I got an e-vite to a “Guest Appreciation Day” for my favorite pizza joint I could not pass it up.  (I will not disclose the name of the pizzeria until the end).  I gleefully texted my husband and told him we had dinner plans for Monday night!
