Last week I pondered on what to do after I sowed some seed in the warm confines of my own home. The seeds have sprouted, I wrote, now what? * * * Don, I asked my Dad why my indoor seedlings toppled as soon as I took them outside. He said they need to get […]
Hey, my plants are growing! Yep, it is true. Last year I had this wild idea to save some seeds from a Brandywine tomato to plant ’em and grow ’em again this year. I saved the seeds, dried the seeds and stowed them away out on the porch until three weeks ago. Then I constructed […]
With a mission of opening up recreation to all, the second annual Raymond C. Davis, Sr. Access To Recreation Endowment Fund Golf Outing (on October 3) was a resounding success. ‘We doubled the number of golfers from last year,? outing organizer Ron Davis said. ‘It speaks volumes about what people thought of my dad, the […]
There are many times in all our lives when we need news that really isn’t. Sometimes we need news that doesn’t report the number of home foreclosures in Michigan; the number of soldiers killed in Iraq; nor the number of sexual blunders by any elected official. That, dear readers, is why when I need a […]
I guess there is some good news and some bad news coming from the home front. The good news: Sean, five-years-old since St. Patrick’s Day, has ‘written? his first book.

Spring has technically been here for a couple of weeks and while I get it, I ain’t buying it. It’s too cold. (Whine, grouse, complain.) Heck, according to the National Weather Service, we might hit 50 degrees by the end of the week. Whoopee! (Whine, grouse, complain.) I know, I know: Donny Downer is trying […]
So, I kinda struck a nerve when I opined (openly and on the internet) that maybe it was my God-given calling to save America from itself and Facebook. Okay, I whined about all the insignificant stuff folks post on-line for the world to see and I called for the great American Facebook off slated for […]
Be forewarned . . . there could be some cussin? goin? on. I’m gonna? preface this gem of an opinion with a wee-little disclaimer to all those employed in public education. You do not have to read on; what follows is a tirade, an exercise in ranting and raving. Eggheads and those who resemble Spock, […]
I know there’s nary a soul in the good ol? U S of A who’s clicking their heels and dancing a jig over our Federal government’s inability to be open, honest, frugal or any other trait Americans profess to process. (Sorry about mentioning clicking of heals and dancing a jig –I’m still basking in the […]
Okay, call me kookie, but I have been flirting with the idea of ditching my very own, personal Facebook page. I know, I know. Younger folk will think this is totally un-American — but I have to admit, the thought has been bouncing around inside my cranium since January. It’s nothing against Facebook, the company, […]
