What a game! USA knocks out Bosnia despite a physical match. This marks the 1st time all 3 major N. American countries are in the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup.

Having a moment of nostalgia. I’m at Bridgman HS for my daughter’s bball game and I’m remembering covering some Good Friday night games here. Also, the Bees have the coolest scoreboard in SW MI.

Didn’t think I’d be teaching journalism at Hartford High School, but here I am. Up here in the press box with some students, it feels like I never left sports writing.

The Sandman I think is Neil Gaiman’s most known work. I know he’s had hits with Good Omens, Coraline, and many more but the Sandman continues to stand apart. I just finished watching the second and final season of the show adaptation on Netflix and it was awesome!

NEW: Man with a suspended license joins court Zoom call while driving in his car.

This is the funniest video I've seen in a long time.

Judge Cedric Simpson can be seen dumbfounded after defendant Corey Harris dialed into the meeting from his car.

Simpson: "Mr. Harris, are you driving?"

Harris: "Actually, I'm pulling into my doctor's office, actually. Just give me one second."

Judge Simpson then revoked Harris's bond and ordered him to turn himself into the local jail.

The incident happened in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

@HPEditor I wish I could have been a fly on the wall that night in the newsroom.

When Christ comes, He needs to recognize us not as nominal members but as thoroughly committed disciples. That is one of the lessons I have learned repeatedly this past year. #GeneralConference

@goodreads Anne of Green Gables. Actually, I’m translating it into Spanish to help a junior high student I tutor. But it still counts!

Most of you will know that my wife Pat passed away last July with complications from Covid and other respiratory problems. I am brokenhearted and lonely, but that is the price we pay for love in the world. I look forward to rejoining her.

But the wonder of life goes on, including for these two great-grandchildren who, with our other family members, were the delight of Pat's life. Her passing and their arrival are a reminder that both birth and death are a part of the Savior’s plan of happiness. I dearly, deeply miss Pat, but I am grateful for a new generation in our family. This is why we speak of family so much in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for, as President Russell M. Nelson has said, salvation is an individual experience, but exaltation is a family experience.

I bear witness of the beauty of this plan and that all is well if we live for its promises. I am trying to live worthily of those promises and the trust that those living on Pat's side of the veil have in those of us who have access to the temple where so many of those promises are revealed.
