On the first Monday of September, the grill gets lit, the lake gets busy, and a big yellow school bus shows up on the road again the next morning. Labor Day feels like summer’s period at the end of a sentence. But the holiday wasn’t built for mattress sales. It was built in the street, with ...

A recent number one hit on some music charts was the song “Life is a Highway”. My great grandson, though he’s only five, loved the song. He would get in the car and want it on the radio. He’d sing along with it, knowing every word. In today’s world, life often is the highway, and ...
