It’s all about business this week

Lest I forget (again, for the 5th time in six weeks), I needed to mention a good deed. Michael White works in our press room in Oxford. On the payday before Christmas he cashed his check at the Oxford Branch of Oxford Bank. Well, seems he was short-changed, by about a quarter. Teller Jennifer C., […]

For whom the bell rings, but should we answer?

The other day, whilst sitting alone, contemplating life, my thoughts were interrupted. I was in sort of a dilemma. Then I had a thought. For the longest time I resisted tethering myself to electronic devices — this practice is a long-standing one with me, going back nearly a quarter of a century. I am not […]

Of mice and men and of this and that

News for thems that like weird stuff

Long before it was chic to puff up kids? ego by making sure most get on the honor roll, or making sure all athletic participants get trophies, I was pretty sure I was ‘special.? Well, different. I figured that out early in life. From about 7th grade through high school a black crow used to […]

You say potato and I say spud — a trip down memory lane

I need your help

As the dawn of yet another year approached, the leaders of the universe that is Sherman Publications sat atop their ivory towers and looked down at me.
