Oxnard--I’m going to take a few minutes to talk about my oldest son Travis, who most of you know by his nickname, “The First Responder,” who will now be known as “The Paramedic.” THIS is exceptional because it has not been an easy path for him since he has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), which means he learns at a different pace. Regardless, he set his sights on becoming a Paramedic and n...

Oxnard--So, I’m less than normal, that goes without saying, but sometimes even I think, good grief, I need to slow down a little bit. SO, I spend my days balancing many things and trying to keep everything moving forward. I teach, assign stories, find out people who make promises, don’t keep them, and do it all myself. The weird part is the busier I get, the happier I become. I guess that’s...

Oxnard-- For once, my weekend wasn’t too bad. I had time to get the grocery shopping done and clean the kitchen, always one of my favorites. I got to sit and watch the Jets game on television; they won the game, and the bonus was they beat the Broncos. Know I lived in Denver for many years, but I grew up on Long Island and have been a Jets fan since Joe Namath beat the Colts in Super Bowl III...

Oxnard-- I keep changing and getting older, and it amazes me how the older I get, the more I crave things to be neat and orderly. admit I wasn’t the neatest guy in town when I was younger. When I was a teenager, my mother bought me a sign that said, “Please Clean Up Your Room,” and my father hung it in my room. I’m sure my Mother and Father are looking down at me and laughing at how I’ve change...

Oxnard--Life keeps rolling along for the city mouse out in the country as I keep trying to train journalism basics to people who have the desire but don’t understand structure. IT amazes me to teach who, what, where, when, and why, then get nothing in return. I guess it’s a moral victory when reporters show up and realize this is not a glamorous position; we’re worker bees dedicated to infor...

Oxnard-- I was working the other day when one of the employees at my current location started complaining that he was using his personal computer to produce the paper and was wearing the machine out. OKAY, it seems like a point, so the management brought us new computers and said to use this computer instead. The problem, which is partly due to me being spoiled a little bit by my computer,...

Oxnard--My typical week is busy, by definition, as I spend almost all my time running the Sentry, helping new reporters at my project, and trying to balance a potpourri of issues ranging all the way to dealing with the J-Train. LET’S dial back to September 8, when I was looking at a ton of stories and getting people to cover the events. Meanwhile, things were happening that required me to in...

Oxnard—Sometimes, my past truly haunts me, making me realize that I’ll never escape what’s been ingrained into my mindset. TO explain, the J-Train and I were out the other day, and on the way home, we decided to pick up dinner at one of the local restaurants. It started okay; I was being my usual goofball self, and the J-Train and I each ordered chicken salads. Sounds nice, right? Well, fro...

Oxnard-- Just for a change, I decided to step out of the norm and did something different. I stopped writing and watched the Jets game on television. IT’S uncommon for me to stop and root for my favorite football team on television, but I decided I could use a break. It was nice to stop and just relax for a while. The Jets won the game and beat the Giants, which made me happy. I went back...

Oxnard-- It’s funny the lessons I learn sometimes as I roll through life, which can smack you right in the face. AS I previously mentioned, I agreed to help a company move forward, but never in life did I think I would encounter things we have long since placed in our rearview mirror. A good news article informs the reader and is not a 500-word summary to review, and some companies need hel...
