I thought the day would never come. But Thursday, it will finally be time to tee it up for another season. Thanks to Mother Nature, it took long enough. But I hope it’s worth the wait. Thursday will be the first official round of golf I have played this season. I’m sure it will be [...]

Quite the project

I think it’s been about 13 months in the making. I could be off by a couple weeks, but I do know it’s been quite a while. Around a year ago, the Daily Globe was hired by the Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau to create a promotional video for the city of [...]

I have had a very deep philosophical argument in my head lately. If I had a choice, which would I choose? I live in a place that does not have air conditioning, central heat, dishwasher or laundry facilities. If I had a chance to choose one of them to add, which would I? I go back [...]

There is one common complaint I hear about Worthington. I hear it over and over again. In fact, I heard it so much that I almost started to believe it myself. What I keep hearing from the young professionals in this town is there is nothing to do. “Sioux Falls has this, or the Cities [...]

During the Worthington City Council meeting Monday night, the members were presented with an opportunity. That opportunity was to loan $600,000 to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority and Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership to help build a 36-unit apartment complex in Worthington.

It was a long Lenten season. As many of you know, I gave up pop. That sweet, caffeinated drink was no longer in my life. And I made it. But wow, was it tough. The beginning was the worst. Constantly, I was craving that wonderful drink. I was lucky. I had someone to help with go through [...]

By the time most of you read this, it will be over. It will have come and gone just that quickly. And hopefully, I will be happy. More than likely, I won’t be. Of course, I’m talking about my fantasy baseball draft. On Tuesday night, I will sit down and scour over rosters, scouting reports [...]

It’s been too long

It seems like it’s been forever since I last wrote a blog. And so much has been going on. Of course, there will be more time — and space — to talk about things in the future posts, so I’ll keep this one brief. To catch up on things, the newsroom has been busy. We [...]

The Wizard of Oz

When I was little, I wasn’t able to watch “The Wizard of Oz.” My parents wouldn’t allow it. Now, don’t think I was a sheltered child, because I wasn’t. Or at least I don’t think I was. But I could never watch “Oz.” Whenever I asked, my mother told me it was one reason: The [...]

I have been accused that I am not a good listener. They’ve said because I can’t remember what someone said days, weeks or months ago, that I wasn’t really listening at the time. I would have to disagree. Here’s why. I’m a great listener. When I’m having a conversation with someone, I’m into the conversation. [...]
