Go to Macy’s official website — Macy’s department store, I mean. This is the week to finish my focus on gratitude by writing about media, pieces and parts of which I am grateful for, and one of those would be the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, begun in 1924. If you go to their website and click on Parade History, it will show you some really cool film footage of previous years, as well as a rundown of the history of this annual event. I have had the privilege of seeing the parade, while I was stationed in New York,...

My team’s quarterback is making me crazy. Yeah, I have been Bronco fan since before Elway migrated east from Stanford. While there have been a few magical stretches at Mile High over the years we’ve had our dark seasons — kinda like the way this one started. I was resigned at the first of the season for another year of rebuilding while our first-round draft pick quarterback developed into an NFL quarterback. I thought we would be going through that with last year’s quarterback at the helm but that all changed after...
