Something is greatly disturbing me on this Election Day. Reading comments on blogs, reading news stories from the wire services, and receiving three phone calls last night from Republican friends asking for advice on which judges to vote for on the Democratic ballot has made me shake my head in wonder. How have we come to […]
Tomorrow we vote for two very important issues that identify us as a community. The voters of Cuyahoga County consistently support quality of life issues that affect our communities. These are hard times financially for a lot of folks in our communities in Cuyahoga County, but I believe that again our voters will rise to […]
This month’s Brews explored a topic that is fast approaching D-Day- the new AMP Ohio “clean coal” contract that Cleveland City Council will sign or reject on March 1. There will be a public hearing held this Friday, February 22 which will provide the last discussion before a vote is taken.

George’s link for Chris Butler about favorite Christmas music got me thinking about some of my favorite Christmas music. Actually, the list is almost endless. One carol begets another carol, […]
I caught a snippet of the glitch that caused double billing to some Giant Eagle customers if they had the misfortune of shopping for groceries on December 14th last evening on TV, but learned more from the on-line Crain’s Business article today. I experienced this SAME thing years ago, and am rather amazed that it still happens. […]
Last night was our final Cleveland Weblogger Meetup for 2007. George has been a bit flummoxed about the erratic attendance at these events lately, but last night is a testimony to the value of these meetups and how they enhance our Northeast Ohio blogger community. There we were fourteen of us gathered around a grouping of […]
