Oxnard—So, 2026 is off and running, and I hope the new year brings you amazing joy. I too have a wish list, an Oxnard wish list, and I’m sure under Alex Nguyen’s careful guidance, the City will flourish. UP first is my wish for the East Oxnard Superfund site. Hopefully the area will be cleaned up and developed so it flourishes in the 2030s and beyond. My second 2026 wish is for Heritage Squ...

Oxnard—Happy new year everybody! For those who didn’t get my message last week and let me explain a little bit. ON New Year’s Eve, I went for dialysis. I fell asleep, which rarely ever happens. While I was sleeping, one of the nurses came over to put me into the entirely reclined position. I hate that every time this happens, I throw up. I understand that’s their policy, but what I don’t...

Oxnard—Before I get started on my new challenges and (hopefully) successes and ultimately mission accomplished, 2025 left a bad taste in my mouth. IN 2025, I spent the year throwing up so often that I would throw up into my office trash can while I wrote the Tri County Sentry. In 2025, I was reminded how much I hate medical professionals, with one notable exception, and how much I hate the...

Oxnard—This Frosted had so many working titles: the year I grew up, reality hits you like a dead fish in the face, and so many more —but I settled on the title and will relive the worst year in my life since my divorce. THE year 2025 started strong as always, and my transplant protocol was well underway, with the only remaining obstacle being the Colonoscopy. The Colonoscopy went fine, and...

Oxnard—I was going to write about entering the ranks of Medicare today. Then I had a visit with my doctor, who informed me that I have elevated Albumin levels. A week ago, I was told all my blood work was great. Now that won’t do so; they’ve created a whole new set of problems. Ultimately, they’re doing everything they can to make sure that I won’t ever get out of this chair, and I’ll be he...

Oxnard—Hi everybody, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break, followed by a wonderful week. I HOPE your Holiday was full of family, friends, turkey, gobble gobble, and, if you’ve been blessed with the younger generation, grandchildren. Since I was shaking pretty badly, thanks to my miserable kidneys not filtering well, I sat up and powered through another Frosted. Not much has change...

Oxnard—As I said last week, God is good, and Janis is off and running at her new restaurant job as a hostess. SHE is thrilled because she gets to work with her friend, Claudia, and the duo plans to enjoy steak and shrimp fajitas following a shift. It’s a new restaurant, which means busy, busy, busy, learning new skills. There are challenges. Janis isn’t sure about the seating chart, but she...

Oxnard—Okay, no one can tell me that prayer doesn’t work. Thanks to a whole bunch of prayers, more than I’ve ever prayed in my life, Janis starts her new job today at a restaurant in Ventura. SHE followed my advice, followed up with the hiring manager, and after a few false starts, she is on the payroll. I’m proud of her!!! I also have to thank Claudia Garrett, who pushed Janis’s attribut...

Oxnard—I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen so much rain fall over a weekend. Maybe when I lived in Vermont, but that place is like the land that time forgot. NORMALLY, the rain falls, a lot of it, but starting on Thursday, it changed to a downpour, a continuous, flooding-the-roads, downpour. Naturally, Janis had a pair of interviews in Ventura, which meant hydroplaning down Victoria Av...

Oxnard—The Heroes series continues with people who have had a significant impact on my life, like my business partner, Lisa Grace Kellogg, who guided me to this computer. LISA’S origins stem back to Woody (Ward R. Frost’s) house. I was visiting Woody one Saturday morning while my brother Brian was staying, and he was being the prototypical little brother, coming loaded with teases and taunts...
