In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t had a chance to blog lately. It’s for a combination of reasons. Mostly, I’ve been busy. And gone. First, being busy. I love it. I hate sitting around with nothing to do. I love having things to occupy my time. And lately, I haven’t had a hard time [...]

What’s the next issue?

A few weeks after my housing series was tackled — and completed — I sit and wonder. What’s the next issue in Worthington? What is the next project the Daily Globe needs to get to the bottom of? During the past few years, I have been proud of the work we have done. We have [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!

I wanted to take a moment to wish each and every one of you a Happy Thanksgiving. I know we should all do it more often, but Thanksgiving is a day when we can truly count our blessings. As I write this, I am counting the minutes until I can leave for a long weekend. [...]
The election is over… now what?

It’s funny how things work. You prepare for something so long that it consumes your thoughts. And then it’s over. Then what? Well, that’s about where I’m at right now. For weeks and weeks and weeks, I’ve been preparing for the election. It started months ago. One of the main agendas I had was to [...]
Political expert? I think not

I am registered to vote. And I plan on casting my vote on Nov. 6. Sure, I’ve voted in years past. I registered when I was 18 and I’ve been pretty diligent each year. (Although I did miss the last presidential election because I was sick). But I am extremely excited about this year’s election. [...]
My first helicopter ride

When the idea of sending me up in a helicopter first came up, I thought it was crazy. But honestly, I didn’t think it would happen. It did. It’s not that I’m afraid of flying or of crashing. It’s more the height. I recently went on top of the new fire station in town. That [...]

Coming later this month: Positive Perspectives. Each year, the Daily Globe puts together a special section to highlight the positive things going on in Worthington. And it’s time for that again. The section — actually, there will be two of them — will be in the paper on Friday, July 27. So this week the [...]

Well,the 13th Annual Windsurfing Regatta and Unvarnished Music Festival is in the books. The windsurfers are gone. The tents are all taken down. The vendors have moved on to the next festival. All the Globe‘s coverage is finished; I’ve edited all my videos. I took more than three hours of video and edited them down [...]
Funny how time flies

I can’t believe it. In fact, I had to sit and count. Good thing I only had to count to five. Otherwise, I would have had to use another hand and that could have been disastrous. But five years ago yesterday, June 4, 2007, was a special day for me. It was my first day [...]
What a great problem to have

In no way am I complaining. But I’m bored. And it’s only 1 p.m. With the way things work at the Daily Globe, I was awarded a day off today. (Yes, it’s kind of like winning the lottery) Because I worked last weekend, I am allowed to take a day off during the week. I [...]
