Class of 2026 - Mindset List
Class of 2026 – Mindset List
The publication of the Mindset List each year is one of the highlights of my “back to school” experience. For many years as a higher education professional and pop culture aficionado, this list was a way to understand (wink, wink) the new students heading back to campus each fall semester. For the past couple of years though, it has also been personal. My two kids are both just graduated from…

(via Support Tucker & Penny - Hunger Hike 2022)
Hi, we are Tucker & Penny, 5-year old chiweenie & one-year old mini-dachshund, and a part of the Malavenda family. We know we’re just two little dogs – but when we learned that millions of children go hungry, we decided to do something about it – especially this year with the huge economic impact of post-COVID. We’re going to participate in HUNGER HIKE on Sunday, Sept. 18 with our team, Dogs Against Hunger, and hope you’ll support us. Any amount you can give will help! PLEASE dig deep and donate to us online. Donating is simple, fast, secure and tax-deductible.
BTW — we will be “hiking” with Max, Zoe, Kristin & Pablo — so, a donation to us is also supporting them. If you’ve already given — THANK YOU! If not, please support the cause and make a donation. Any amount you can give will help! Here are the three easy (secure) ways you can give:

Personal note – This year the Mindset List takes is more meaningful and stranger than ever BECAUSE they are talking about my children, who are now enrolled as a sophomore & first-year student at a four-year, state, research one, Big 10 university.

Father’s Day – Hey Groupon, I Ain’t That Guy!
Father’s Day – Hey Groupon, I Ain’t That Guy!
As Father’s Day approaches — I once again have to accept the fact that I am not a “typical” dad. And my kids are used to explaining that our family is a bit “weird.” Thanks to “Deal of the Day” websites and e-newsletters like Groupon & Living Social — we are further reminded of the stuff and activities that dads are supposed to like. Groupon not only has Father’s Day deals that include cigars,…

Save the UConn Coop
Save the UConn Coop
Dear Distinguished Members of the UConn Community – I am writing to strongly recommend that you save the UConn Coop. Please do not be tempted by a quick profit from a commercial bookstore or a sales presentation that makes promises that cannot be made in such a tumultuous time in the history of book stores and book sales — especially textbook sales.

Captain Mary T. Klinker -- Decorated Vietnam Veteran from Lafayette
Captain Mary T. Klinker — Decorated Vietnam Veteran from Lafayette
Happy 65th Birthday, Captain Klinker
Although we have lived in Indiana for almost 15 years, we really don’t know as much as we should about the history of this state. I recently was asked to write a feature about the local Veterans Resource Center and decided to learn more about their namesake, Captain Mary T. Klinker. Suffice it to say — I was blown away by what I learned. Read about Mary T.…
