In Game 3 of a high school playoff series, it sometimes comes down to the little things. The Portales Rams struggled much of the day, then positioned themselves to win the first-round Class 3A state series with a three-run sixth inning that tied the game and looked like it would turn into more.

In her tiny life, there are plenty of big things to remember about visiting. I have a cat that lets children pet her. I have luckily had snow on the ground for her two Christmas visits. I live in a barn, so it's easy to spot. But when I was having an animated conversation with my great-niece about coming to see me in the summer, and what al... Full story
