Dear Amy: My brother and I are both in our 70s. We’ve only spoken once in the last three years. We lived miles apart for much of our lives, but still kept in touch. After our father passed, our mother sold their home. My father had previously told my brother that when they sold the house, he wanted to give a certain amount of money to each of us. Our mother did not honor our father’s wishes, but did give us each a smaller amount. Years later she deposited a good sum of money into his account but asked him not to tell me. (I wouldn’t have cared at all.) Mom later called the bank and asked for t ..read more

The former Blake Street Bomber, now a special assistant to Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt, is arguably the most famous Mexican-born big league position player in MLB history.

A few weeks ago, it was hard to find a place for Joel Kiviranta in the postseason lineup for the Colorado Avalanche. A few days into this opening-round series with the Winnipeg Jets, it’s hard to see Jared Bednar filling out one without him in it. Kiviranta was probably going to be the 13th forward for the Avs, but a lower-body injury to Jonathan Drouin created an opportunity for him, and he’s taken full advantage. He’s fit seamlessly next to Ross Colton and Miles Wood on the club’s third line, and that trio had back-to-back strong games together going into Game 3 at Ball Arena. “I wouldn’t sa ..read more

In other words, if you are a quarter ..read more
