For God’s Sake: Attitudes toward Halloween participation vary widely

“Do we have enough candy?” my wife’s text read. It was Halloween, she was leaving work, and her commute would take her past several grocery stores. I considered last year’s brisk trick-or-treat traffic and replied, “You should pick up another bag.”

Dear FHSAA, I know my birthday is still four months away and it’s not quite Christmas yet — even if the stores want us to believe it is – but if you don’t mind, I have a request. It’s not a big ask by any stretch of the imagination. I just want to make sure order remains in place when it comes to the district involving Santa Rosa County teams.

High stakes and hijinks in District 4 election

Someone once said that our local-elected officials have more power over the quality of our lives than the president of the United States. So true. Your vote will determine the future of Navarre – and this county for years to come. In the ring are Commissioner Dave Piech and Ray Eddington. Am I happy about […]

Out and About

A big thank you to Bob and Carol Boston for remembering to bring their Navarre Press with them to Navarre, Ohio.

We used to have a lot more entries for “On the Road” with Navarre Press and we use to promote it more. If and when you go to somewhere notable, please bring your Navarre Press and we will put the picture in the paper.

For God’s Sake: God’s will is like a new car

My wife and I just bought a new car. Our old car was making strange sounds that threatened to leave us stranded.

Car purchasing is a rare experience for us because we keep our cars for a long time. This experience was quite pleasant, unlike our first car-buying experience.

We live in a world where the mics are always on, and the cameras are always rolling.

Everything you say or do has the potential to end up on social media in one form or another. It’s not fair, but it’s reality.

Out and About

I’m on the road a lot between the Milton, Crestview and Navarre offices and I love listening to Podcasts.

I should be able write off my car as a rolling university, but I’m sure the IRS wouldn’t go for that. I recently listened to Chris Wark of ChrisBeatsCancer.com on a podcast that caught my attention because I thought it was about Breast Cancer awareness month.

One in eight

In September 2020, she found a lump in her breast.

She was taking a shower like any other day. She wasn’t examining herself, she just felt it. She immediately burst into to tears because in some ways, this was the day she had been dreading since 1995.

For God’s Sake: Sending back the grammar-checking software

I downloaded grammar-checking software recently, and I am having regrets.

The software scrutinizes everything on my computer screen, and I mean EVERYTHING, highlighting what it deems to be grammatical errors. It is like having someone peering over your shoulder and constantly criticizing your work.

Somewhere in the Volunteer State on a crisp fall morning I can see a scenario where an angler is sitting in his boat and hooks something. It’s a little heavy, so he’s thinking he is about to reel in the largest fish of all time out of the Tennessee River.

And then he realizes it’s just the goalposts that were carried out of Neyland Stadium and into the night by jubilant fans on the third Saturday of October.
