Oxnard-- I hope everyone is off to a great 2023 and all those New Year’s resolutions are still in place. I’M doing things and taking little steps to make my life more streamlined. For example, I noticed that I spend a lot of time going out to refill water, so I bought a five-gallon water cooler. This will save a lot of trips to the water station since we’ll have 10 gallons in the house. It w...

Oxnard—Well, it took a while, but my continuous blood meter is in process and will be here soon. I’m not trying to be gushy about this, but this process started on Thanksgiving morning when I had a low blood sugar episode, crashed through my writing table, and lay unconscious for hours while the J-Train was upstairs, sleeping and reading a book. OF course, that wasn’t the only issue, as I ha...

Oxnard--Happy 2023!! I hope everyone had a great and safe celebration and is ready to meet the new year with a lot of vigor and vitality. I’M off to a typical start in 2023, as I went out on New Year’s Eve with a story or two to cover that turned into a big goose egg. I had more papers to deliver, so I did that without incident. The challenges didn’t start until I started making stops on t...

Oxnard--I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday and got everything they hoped for this year. THE J-Train got me a tablet! It was a glucose tablet out of my medicine cabinet, of course, but it’s the thought that counts. Like usual, I ate way too much dinner, but I have difficulty controlling myself when the menu is jumbo shrimp and crabmeat salad. I customized dinner to low-calorie and carbo...

Oxnard— At the risk of being someone who says Bah Humbug, I’m looking forward to the end of the Holiday season. TO explain, for the second time in a month, I need to miss covering stories and try to round up my staff early to put the paper together early December 20th. This means there are things that won’t make the paper, which frustrates me a lot. Don’t get me wrong; I still have some goo...

Oxnard-- So, I’m embarking on my 65th lap around the sun this week, and I need to accept the fact that specific life accommodations must be made to thrive. AS my children tell me, I’m getting old, and ignoring this is a bad idea. Okay, making those accommodations started with my sense of hearing early Sunday, December 11. I woke up to cover the Santa to the Sea Marathon at Channel Islands Ha...

Oxnard-- The rain woke me up, so I decided to write since my weekend is full of Holiday events. SOMETIMES it’s stressful covering so much, but I pride myself on being a good time manager who can get to as much as possible. One stress I handled is getting the paper in my car ready for delivery, and I’m pleased to say that the Tri County Sentry is now printed in Oxnard. Until last week, the...

Oxnard-- So, once I get rolling, things go smoothly, then my email bell goes off, and I’m sitting on the precipice of a mess. Let me explain; I heard from the printer and found out that because of the Holiday, I need a finished version of the latest paper in less than 18 hours. Now I understand about the Holiday, but a little more warning would have been helpful. In other words, there was no...
Chris Frost Tri County Sentry · Dec 2, 2022
Oxnard--It’s hard to believe, but I became the owner of the Tri County Sentry a year ago this week. Honestly, it’s been an unbelievable year. I’ve worked harder than I have ever worked before and learned an amazing amount I had no clue about. One way that I have changed is my sense of fiscal responsibility. As I have said before, owning a newspaper is not cheap, and I have made a lot of cut...

Oxnard-- So, I spent way too much time at the doctor today, and after an extended wait, I am happy to say I no longer have pneumonia. Honestly, I have never felt as bad as that except when I was first diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I won’t bore you about that since I write about that on my anniversary date each year, but waking up and not being able to breathe is a different and awful experi...
