Two posts this month so far! Okay, that’s the last I’ll say about my lack of posting over the last couple of months. No essay here like other bloggers, just a news flash.

Just moments ago, ace New York Yankee pitcher Andy Pettite announced his retirement from the team he has been with for 13 of his 16 year career. He will be sorely missed. Instrumental in many Bomber seasons, notably in 5 Championship seasons. Physically, he is ready if he was needed. Emotionally, it is time for
Yes, there was blowing and drifting snow. Yes the conditions for NW Ohio were miserable. The roads needed to be cleared, and people needed to be safe. The local stores were picked bare by people in a panic. For one day worth of storm. Yes, this storm could have been bigger. Other areas were hit
