america the beautiful

Back in the day, I feel so old saying it now, I collected all of the 50 states quarters series. Yeah, I had a special display book for them, talk about a real nerd. Well, yes, that's a bat on a 2020 quarter I got in some change a few weeks ago. What's the scoop?

It was a big year for country music at the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl XLVI is in the books as the New York Giants again topped the slightly favored New England Patriots 21-17 last night at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

If you Colts fans need a reason to tune into the Super Bowl, it was just announced that country music’s hottest couple Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert will be opening up the big game with a duet performance, making the game of the year even more worthwhile for country music fans.

As shocking as that headline might be, it's true even though I know how hard it is to believe. Goshen College in Northern Indiana has decided to replace the "Star Spangled Banner" with "America the Beautiful" because the lyrics are better suited to the pacifist ideals of this campus whose motto is "Healing the World, Peace by Peace".
