I’ve said it to more folks than I care to remember. ‘It? is this: At this point in my life, I am less about the story and more about doing what is right and helping folks out. A goodly while back a family in Orion Township contacted me in need of help. They signed up […]
At first I didn’t see any correlation. The dots I saw were randomly placed around me in the cosmos. But, as the ancients soon discovered, if you connect those dots — those stars in the heavens — you can tell a story. Of course, I am talking about the number one news-story of the year, […]
I never gave much thought to the scientific study of how particular qualities or traits are transmitted from parents to offspring. And yes, you would be correct to say I probably didn’t think about it much, because I have a hard time just reading that first sentence aloud. Needless to say, deep contemplation on the […]
At first I didn’t see any correlation. The dots I saw were randomly placed around me in the cosmos. But, as the ancients soon discovered, if you connect those dots ? those stars in the heavens ? you can tell a story. Of course, I am talking about the number one news-story of the year, […]
I was asked to re-run (and I quote), ‘That column you wrote for Thanksgiving a few years ago.? I am not sure what column the reader referred to (I’ve penned a lot of Thanksgiving columns in 25-plus years), but I think it might be this one. Historically speaking, this is the time of year, the […]

On August 6, 2005, I wrote . . . A little more than midway down and all of the way west in the ‘mitten? part of Michigan lies Ottawa County. This county is rich in its farming tradition. And, just like in our area, those once rich in farming, sooner or later become rich in […]
Terri Haist Elliott has some heart. . . . And, when I say that I ain’t saying she’s got anything less than a full heart. What I mean to say is more conversational, like, ? Wow, she’s got some heart there.? Her heart has defined her life both figuratively and literally and is leading her […]
Redheaded, moustachioed, former Oxford copper James Malcolm sent me word on some Loonatics. No, he didn’t divulge any juicy tidbits of information on any nut-job he ran into during is quarter century of law enforcement in Oxford. Jimmy’s red-faced over a Michigan J.

Here’s Don’s Time Savings Rant #1,934,345 (which is remarkably similar to his TSR #1). Okay, call me kooky, but, now that we have ‘fallen? back, what does that mean? Where have we fallen from? From what perch on high did we descend? Are we in Daylight Saving Time now, or was that before? How do […]
