Oxnard--I hope everyone is having a great week, and it’s time to get busy again. FIRSTLY, I appreciate all the people who wished me a speedy recovery and how important the Tri County Sentry is to the community while I delivered the paper. Just so everyone knows, and in case my children happen to read this, I’m following the Doctor’s advice and meeting each challenge head-on. It’s funny how...

Oxnard--Well, lightning has struck again; I’ve had another low blood sugar episode which landed my butt in the hospital. THIS time I went under, passed out while making breakfast, and woke up in an emergency room. I’ll be happy when my new automated glucometer with the warning alarm arrives. It’s well-documented how much I dislike going to the doctor, and since I was unconscious, the J-Trai...

Oxnard-- I hope everyone is off to a great 2023 and all those New Year’s resolutions are still in place. THIS all started when I was a little boy when my father would come home, and the whole house would hear him rustle the paper, shuffle into his dad chair, and let out a big sigh. He was home. My mother would prepare dinner, and when we all sat down to eat, they would discuss the Vietnam W...

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...
