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.
I grew up in rural […]
Conversations enhance knowledge, provoke analysis and strenghten beliefs as well as cause discomfort when met with a challenge to tried and true axioms that don’t appear to fit any more. The conversations that I have had lately have underscored many of the things I have read, heard, and believe but many of these conversations have provided […]
And now, I am writing the post that I wanted to write yesterday. Each week on Sunday, George of Brewedfreshdaily posts his favoite secret from this week’s Post Secret. I could, of course, go to Frank’s website on my own and not wait until George posts, but it has become something of a habit for me. […]
Again, from the New York TIMES, a commentary from Bob Herbert on the blindness a culture of panders for years to the wealthy–the investment bankers and venture capitalists and big businesses, those who provide the richest emoluments for our elected representatives–and then tries to mitigate the country’s losses by putting a band-aid on the problems […]

We were WAY too early for the next bus so we took the opportunity to walk through the square and look at the Christmas lights. There are bundles of them […]
While browsing at BFD today, I noticed this post and although I did leave a comment I knew that what I really wanted to say would be a full blown post and I should do it here instead of there. It is a bit left of center to the topic but does in a way address the […]
Last month we lost our beloved Oatmeal. Her time on earth was well spent–chasing squirrels, watching geese fly overhead, dressing up in the latest fashion trends, and very seldom without her sunglasses when Katie was around. Maureen posted a fitting obituary to the dog and Katie left a heartfelt comment, and me, I couldn’t say […]
Please vote today. Our right to vote as American citizens is one of the gifts that our forefathers saw fit to give us. Through the years, fewer and fewer of us have seen the need to vote, and so, fewer and fewer of us decide our fate.
What a shame it would be that through our apathy, […]
Yesterday, I took the dogs out and was admiring the beautiful blue sky when my eyes focused on large gray splatters on the roof of our house. I went in and asked Tim to come out and observe what I saw. We both surmised that the mysterious spots could be coming from the […]
