BACK IN THE SADDLE

Dad would stop for shiny Penneys

My father was never much for roadside attractions. 

Don't be bullied by the scammers

I was eavesdropping. It may be a professional habit.

Train trip created flight questions

Wandering through the Dunkirk passenger depot with my friends Jack Robbins and Dane Mumbower, I found myself recalling my first train ride.

Moon walkers eclipsed need for clean laundry

All I know for sure is that I didn't smell very good. 

4-H, fair intertwine with musings

Back in the day, when my dear friend the late Tom Casey had only bits and pieces of ideas for a column, he'd begin it with this introduction: "One or two things that may or may not merit a paragraph or two." 

Fair brings back memories

The scent of cotton candy is in the air.

Office left to memorabilia, memories

This is not fun. 

Pocket is once again missing knife

It's around here somewhere.

So what's going on with The CR?

I was pumping gas.

Memories flow as summer begins

There's something about the end of the school year and the start of June that gets the memories flowing. 

Tiananmen is humbling, forever

Anniversaries are important. 

Dunkirk items belong at museum

It was supposed to be a brief visit to Jay County Historical Museum. 

There’s still lots of exploring to do

It's not exactly a bucket list. 

In the long run, at least it’s not snow

The wet, wet spring has prompted a flood of questions. 

Lugar was one of America’s finest

It was a Dick Lugar moment.
