Before the Shot (Redux)

February 4, 2014 by Jerry Miller

“The painting on our January cover may look familiar to you. But AJN’s take on Norman Rockwell’s Before the Shot contains one key difference: the rendition of the family care provider.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: All in the Family

February 4, 2014 by Jerry Miller

Bowled Under…

February 3, 2014 by Jerry Miller

  Vegas Seven was kind enough to invite me to contribute to their very first issue. The article touched on the ongoing (and contentious) relationship that Las Vegas has with the NFL—and the silliness that results from not being allowed to license so much as even the name of the “Big Game.”
