Which Way Are We Going? D Yon 01-06-21
It seems as if 2020 does not want to go away, sort of like our President. But the calendar has turned and we are almost a week into 2021 and no one is happy with the garbage from 2020 spilling over to 2021. It is not clear why, but many people, me included, believe...

A Perfect Day for a Stroll Down Panama City Beach D Yon 11-2020
The Ironman Florida, just over 100 miles west and south of Tallahassee in Panama City Beach, has been a favorite of Tallahassee triathletes for many years. Maybe it is not so much a favorite as it is a rite of passage. Triathletes from Gulf Winds make the drive to...
President’s Column – April 2023
