A little late, but still done on time. My Monday Joy focuses on another day of the week – Friday. Specifically, Friday Night Lights. No, not the book about toxic sports culture or the TV show that will entertain you, make you cry and fire you up. I’m talking about the regular Friday night football […]
One of my favorite things about living in a small town like Hanover is making fun of people who freak out about every little thing. This mainly takes the form of talking about safely walking through town at night as a miracle even though it is a common occurrence. (I know bad things can and […]
Nine years ago, Hanover Little Theatre elected me to its Board of Directors. A year later, I took on an officer position. Three years later, I became board President. For the past two years, I have served as Immediate Past President, a non-voting board position. I have done very little over those two years. First […]
The beginning of the York Fair reminds me of my first introduction to the event in 1992. They had bungee jumping that year at the fair. One day, I went to lunch with a group of fellow Evening Sun reporters. This was our routine. I want to say we were at the Little Red Schoolhouse […]
I often poke fun at people who try to portray Hanover as a dangerous community. I mean, it’s not Mayberry, but the reality is that as long as you don’t look for trouble, you usually won’t find it. I often project this through bragging about walking home after a night downtown, either because I just […]
If you haven’t noticed already, things have really started to change in downtown Hanover. New businesses keep cropping up and great opportunities wait in the wings. One of the most recent changes has given me mixed feelings, however. Namely, the re-location of The Evening Sun offices. I have not worked for the paper full time […]
Something amazing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Something that some people thought could never happen. I enjoyed closing 2014 with a bang. I walked through the streets of Hanover alone in the evening and no one hurt me. Now before I go on having fun, let me be clear – I am […]
I got really worried for a few moments. One of my sisters-in-law wanted to present me with a special gift in front of everyone at our family’s Christmas Eve celebration. I had no reason to distrust her. It’s the ones I am related to by blood that I didn’t trust. As the youngest, this feeling […]
As a kid, I loved the show, “The A Team.” The program fell right into my wheelhouse – great action, a token female character to run around, Mr. T and his catch phrases. But one of the great parts of the show would come when Hannibal, the leader of the group played by George Peppard, […]
I knew the look in her eye. I have seen it a lot in recent years as I found myself more involved in community events. The look told me that the brain was saying, “I know I can do this, but I have so many other things to do, but I really know I can […]
