I will admit it – I did get a little misty-eyed as the Clarkston Boys Varsity Basketball team ran onto the court after the championship game on Saturday. I was swept in the moment, which was a long time coming for the Wolves, as under the bright lights of the Breslin Center they achieved a […]
I have been reflecting a lot on my eating habits recently. It comes from having a 15-month-old son who is eating more and more of what we eat every day and being on Shape ReClaimed again through Nuview Nutrition. I have always had a problem with portion control. I love to eat. I love food. […]
It happened. I had hoped and prayed to the pizza gods someone would drop off a pie topped with the perfect blend of cheese, sauce and pepperoni to our office downtown. It happened and it occurred one week too late for me. Our Assistant Publisher Don Rush took advantage of the buy one, get one […]
It was so close, but so far away. I could see it. I could feel it in my hands. I just couldn’t get to it. I mentally called to it, to come to me. But alas, the tissue box stayed on the dresser as the near-to-sleep baby laid in my arms in the reclining chair. […]
Condolences to all of you who lost your former teacher, coach, mentor, friend and family member Roy “Pops” Warner. I began at The Clarkston News after he retired from Clarkston Community Schools so I never met him. I did get to know him through players he coached, graduates he taught and current coaches. Just by […]
Jonathan was slowing down in his playing in the open room in the new house on Sunday. After nearly a year I knew the signs of my baby boy – he was also getting cranky and cranky tired, not cranky hungry. If I didn’t act quick the smiling infant would go into scream vocal mode. […]
I am in the midst of moving which means there are piles of boxes. There are also just piles of stuff because I am optimistic to keep like items together and not just swoop things into boxes. But with only a few days to go and not a lot of time belongings might be swooped […]
With a few signatures and turning over the keys marked my dad’s house as sold and moving on to its next owners last Friday. I stopped by the day before to take one last look around the house, remembering how it was before the rooms were emptied of furniture and pictures taken off the walls. […]
Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans – I have your attention now, don’t I, with vegetables. Those are the three vegetables I ate today – four cups of health. I am back on what I consider the bootcamp plan with Nuview Nutrition. It’s the only way I could be good while eating without going off the wagon […]
It’s inspiring to talk to local authors especially Travis J. Thompson who I spoke to last week about his series and his signing at Clarkston Independence District Library on July 6, 6-8 p.m. Even more inspiring is his daily word count which gets up in 4,000 words. If you didn’t know I participate in National […]
