Thank Ricker’s For Sunday Sales

Thursday, March 1st, 2018

If you’re at the grocery store this Sunday and you pick up a six-pack of beer, a bottle of wine or spirits, you need to thank convenience store owner Jay Ricker. Had it not been for Ricker’s, there would likely be no Sunday retail alcohol sales. Allow me to explain. Using a little creativity and […]

Black Panther Says Quite a Bit About All of Us

As someone whose wife as described him as a 40-something 12-year old, I was really interested in seeing Black Panther over the weekend.

Political Purity Tests

Saturday, January 27th, 2018

A few years ago, I was having a conversation with then Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels.  We were chatting about politics, and he made a very salient point that’s stuck with me.  He said, “Abdul in politics, purity tests are only good for Nazis and suicide bombers.”   Truer words were never spoken, especially when you look […]
