Then your phone lights up and the screen reads, “Thanks for the great night,” with a tacky smile afterwards. Now, for me, this is one of the biggest turnoffs after any date. When you drop someone off, even if you had a great night, you dropped him or her off.
Nobody said losing a team’s on-court vocal and inspirational leader would be easy.

Editor, The debate involving the observance of Veterans Day is absurd and irrational. Honoring our veterans, on their day of national recognition, is a simple way we can give back to the brave men and women who have served and are currently serving our military.
