Where are they now? It is a question that is most asked about actors, musicians or sports heroes who had, at one time, been well-known but then had faded into the woodwork only to reappear years later, hard lived and well-worn, as a competitor in “Celebrity Apprentice” or “Dancing with the Stars.”

When my wife saw the pictures of a geologic feature known as White Pocket that I had visited a couple of years ago, it went on her bucket list. It was the second day of a three-day trip on the Arizona side of the Utah border. The first day, we traveled through the Kaibab Forest visiting view…

Early last year, Mercedes made an unprecedented move by announcing that it would introduce a new A-Class sedan to the U.S. market.

Early this morning, as I was sitting at my computer with my dog on my lap, I began to reminisce about how I got here. Not here at my desk — that occurred by getting out of bed and walking through the hallway and sitting on this chair — but here, with a dog in my lap.
