So far, so good. Because of my trip to New York this weekend that was scheduled well before this rigmarole started, Monday/Tuesday seems like the day I will get my bed unless I can get same-day delivery before 2 p.m. Thursday, which I doubt. I was going to go the used mattress route but most [...]

I can’t sleep. It’s probably because I had not only a chai earlier today but a giganto sweet tea at about 11. I’ve been drinking nothing but water, ginger ale and, with the exception of the past five days, alcohol since maybe the end of November when I had a Mountain Dew on one of [...]

Letter to the Editor I sent in for Tuesday’s edition First and foremost, I would like to congratulate Elizabeth Farina in her opportunity to continue the improvements to the Hopewell News & Patriot that I began. Secondly, and most importantly, I want to say goodbye to all of you in the Tri-Cities. I have some [...]

I have a bit of a problem now. I think I’m going to have to switch my official address back to my mom’s for a little bit. BECAUSE I’M MOVING TO NORTH CAROLINA. So, technically, I was unemployed as 12:01 Thursday morning. I got a new job as a copy editor at 4 p.m. We’re [...]

As you all (should) know, I’m a very honest guy. It pains me to not be able to tell you exactly what happened and why but at few positions and departments were cut and/or reconfigured at my job and mine was one of them. And I’m OK. I’m putting this out here now because I [...]

All that’s left is painting. They have to because there was water damage. We’re currently lobbying for it not to be a putty color. Yes, I know: paint then floor. There was some minor cart-before-horsing between the repairmen and the insurance company. It’s hard to believe the room looked like this when I got there: [...]

President Obama talked about his jobs act and the attempt to get it passed in chunks, starting this week. I sat in a press riser well away from him in a fire station. Nothing spectacular happened. I’ll be more excited if I actually talk to a president.

I was asked to write about my future plans for the newsroom as a part of our upcoming budget cycle. As usual, I wrote a lot. I’m a journalist with a degree in English who has been writing fiction and creative nonfiction since third grade (read as I’m damn good at it). I purposely wrote [...]

But I did not shoot Bill Bolling. Wednesday was a luncheon for the Republican Party of Virginia. Apparently, Texas Gov. Rick Perry was invited before he was truly a candidate for president, let alone a front-runner for the party. When we saw that this was happening, we knew we had to go. Part of the [...]
