If you are looking for the Texas Rangers to hit a home run this year and win the pennant, that may be wishful thinking since losing Josh Hamilton to the arch rival Angels, and Mike Napoli to the Red Sox, but what happens off the field is just as important as what happens on the field.
Should teachers and school administrators carry guns?
Another East Texas school district is thinking about allowing it. The Trinity ISD is considering a new policy that would allow concealed weapons at its buildings.
Guys, is it cool with you if your wife makes more money?
Researchers looked at incomes from 2006 to 2011 and found more wives in 2011 were out-earning their husbands. Some guys get competitive about that, and others say cool, no problem! Bring home that bacon.
These people have Hawaii written all over them.
It could be better, it could be worse for Texas.
When it comes to overall well-being, we're right in the middle of the pack at 27th of the 50 states, and for the 4th year in a row, Hawaii ranks number 1. Things could go totally wrong there and it would still be a good day. Because you're in Hawaii.
What about the worst state? Which state's sense of well-being is generally in the tank?
If you didn't get a chance to attend our Taste of Home cooking school last year, and you don't want to be shut out this year, then make your plans as soon as you finish reading this.

It's all coming back to me now. I'm a Sophomore in high school, and somehow believe that a career studying paramecium is the paramount destiny of my life.
Do you remember the age when you started drinking coffee? I distinctly remember sitting at my grandma's kitchen table, dunking Oreos and iced oatmeal cookies in black coffee when I was about 13, and I give that all the credit for the addiction that I fully own and love today.
If you're a coffee drinker, how many cups per day do you consume? A new survey says the average is 2.2 cups per day is the average. Then there are those folks at the office who walk around with a steaming cup all day, and have the coffee breath to prove it.
More is known now about the timeline for the closure of an East Texas mail processing center.
