Is the Sport of Kings Really a Sport? Go to Racetrack to Find Out

 By Randy Gardner 

Through the last 15 years I’ve talked about many different sports, but I don’t think I’ve ever talked about horse racing. Is horse racing a sport? Some would say yes and some would say no.

The Senior PGA – Day One

By Tom Anselm

Out on the course at the Senior PGA today at Bellerive Country Club today, and it was as lovely as expected.  The greens were like short-shag carpet, and as big as a parking lot.  Fairways expertly clipped, sidewalks shining, even the porta-potties are nicer than most homes’ commodes.  There were lots of people scurrying about, even on a relatively slow day.  One had to be extra-nimble to avoid the plethora of golf-carts-full of volunteers, VIP’s, drink cart girls and groundskeepers.  Talked to a few of the courses workers, and they were marveling at the weather, which was in the 70′s, a bit overcast and breezy.

A Boomer’s Journal:

By Tom Anselm

“M” is for the many things she gave me.”  Remember that song from days of yesteryear?

With Mother’s Day on this weekend’s agenda, it might do well to consider this song and its true message. More on that later.

Dining Divas Get a Taste Of Reality at Sweetie Pie’s

The Dining Divas

By Lisa Kampeter

I have to admit that the sole reason for choosing the Dining Divas restaurant of the month was the excitement of a potential celebrity sighting.  Well, if you’re a reality show junkie, you’d find it exciting.  Months ago, the Gladys Kravitz Diva requested we head to The Grove neighborhood for the chance of seeing Miss Robbie or Tim or Lil’ Charles.  Thanks to the Oprah Winfrey Network, these three St. Louisans are household names in many homes in the country now because of the reality show, “Welcome to Sweetie Pies.”  And for the Gladys Kravitz Diva, she speaks of them as if she’s one of the family.
