Don't let those shadows bite ya!
In the Columbus area, the word "kayaker" conjures up images of folks soaring down the new urban whitewater course in short kayaks, flipping upside down and banging their heads on all sorts of things under the water like rocks, old railroad irons and Jimmy Hoffa -- or as we're now billing it, fun...

Chris Johnson: No reason for Georgia to roll the dice

Ravens get me golfing again with a twist
The first couple of times I saw a disc golf course, I wondered what kind of fools would rather throw a flying disc at poles and chains instead of playing real golf. Now, I know that the kind of fools who play the game are fools like myself.
