Kids, this past weekend I was in Columbia, Mo.  I know a lot of you are familiar with the general vicinity and have probably been there several times over your tenure.  I have been there I don't know how many times, but for some reason I had never heard of a country wide phenomena called The Magic Tree.

The Major League Baseball Playoffs are here, and I'm sure there are many looking into the crystal ball to figure out which teams will win through the playoffs.  Logic says to compare how the teams did against each other in the regular season, or which team was hot down the stretch, or who has the best best pitchers or hitters.  These are all logical ways to predict winners, but it is baseball and anything can happen.  Just refer to the St. Louis Cardinals in 2011 and you'll see logic may not have worked in predicting the winner as they defied the odds so many times.

I have lived in Missouri since 1985 and came here when my dad was stationed to Whiteman Air Force Base. I had never been to Ft. Leonard Wood to see what their post is like. This week I had the opportunity to see it first hand not only how the post works, but how it has great relations with the communities around it.

If you still had any hope left for ‘Ghostbusters 3,’ feel free to casually discard it now: Bill Murray is officially, definitely no longer appearing in the film. It’s been a long and dramatic journey for this dying horse, but it’s safe to say maybe we should let it go with dignity now?

Not so fast — the film will go on without Murray.
