Long, long ago, on a planet not so far away, people enjoyed their morning cup of joe while turning the pages of their daily newspaper. If that paper happened to be the Record Courier, you might have read my column, which appeared in the RC for more than 10 years.
Now, I’m absolutely thrilled to write for The Portager, which does such a great job of keeping folks in the know about our hometowns here in Portage County — even for those who no longer live in the area. (Speaking of which, I’ve lived virtually all of my life here in Kent, and proudly so.) If you were among my faithful readers awhile back, I hope you’ll enjoy reading me again. If you have no clue who I am, here’s hoping you’ll find bits of laughter, inspiration or joy among my words.
