You know that Progressive Insurance commercial that humorously depicts a “Parent-Life Coach” advising young homeowners on how to avoid turning into their parents? When the coach corrects homeowners to not chime in on strangers’ conversations, it made me realize, I’ve totally become my mother. (But I’m OK with it, because my mom was awesome.)
Another year is coming to an end… which always makes me reflect on all the things that occurred in the past 12 months.
First off, let me wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope it’s filled with some of my favorite F-words…family, friends, fun, food and football.
Well, how did that happen? Another month has gone by and I have found another reason not to write the AI column I keep going on about. Next month. By then I’ll have better concrete examples of how I’ve been using it.

Years ago, before I moved to Las Vegas, I lived in a community in Southern California that was populated predominantly by retirees.

Barbara Rodgick is an Army widow on a mission to educate civilian medical personnel, employees in the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system and individual veterans and their families.
In spite of the optimism espoused by our political leaders regarding the impact on our city by the opening of the Interstate 11 bypass, I think many residents are unsure about the long-term consequences we face as a community. Will our businesses suffer to the point we become like many of the near-ghost towns along Interstate 40 that were similarly bypassed by the construction of our federal interstate highway system in the ’50s and ’60s?
It’s Sunshine Week, and we here at the Boulder City Review are celebrating.
