The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

The Minnesota Lynx beat the New York Liberty to win the 2024 Commissioner’s Cup. In doing so, they’ve re-established themselves as title contenders. Forget the Connecticut Suns and the Liberty; the Lynx must be recognized as a serious threat to win it all. The team is led by 3x All-Star and former Rookie of the Year Napheesa Collier, but the roster has no shortage of talent from top to bottom. Their rookies have shown flashes of upside in their limited minutes, the team chemistry is on point, and despite an injury to Diamond Miller, they found a way to win.

The Los Angeles Lakers entered the 2024 offseason with designs to acquire several players. Their first priority was to convince LeBron James to re-sign. They accomplished this feat first by hiring someone who he respects as a basketball mind to be their next head coach. Frankly, whether it was UConn’s Dan Hurley or former NBA guard JJ Redick, that was the case. They then drafted his eldest son, who shares his namesake, with the 55th overall pick. For a family man such as James, this was a significant moment.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
