Learning new words causes major shift in world view
A week or so ago I learned something earth shattering. To be honest with you, I'm not even sure I should write about it - because, well it could alter the very foundation of humankind. By revealing this horrifying truth, many of us (and by that I mean me) will question everything we have ever learned. And what is this potentially catastrophic truth that will shake you to your core?
Sandwich generation needs to avoid financial squeeze
Are you a member of the “Sandwich Generation?” This designation - which applies to people caring for their aging parents while supporting their own children - may be applicable to you if you’re either a younger Baby Boomer, born in the late 1950s or early 1960s, or an older member of “Generation X,” born in the mid-1960s. But any way you slice it, being in the “Sandwich” group is probably going to present you with some challenges, particularly of the financial kind - so you’ll need to make the right moves.
‘Damn Yankees’: A hit, a miss and a home run
Long before they took the plot from the opera “La Boheme” and created a contemporary version that became the Broadway hit “Rent,” Douglass Wallop and George Abbott took “Faust” and turned it into a rollicking, joyous, wacky tribute to baseball and enduring faithfulness. “Damn Yankees” is a feel good romp that has all the elements of a great musical. “Damn Yankees” opened on Broadway May 5, 1955 and starred Gwen Verdon with choreography by Bob Fosse. It walked away with eight 1956 Tony Awards and has continued to captivate audiences around the world through the years.
Ugandan children’s choir performs in Morgan Hill

Good news for local businesses and the real PR that’s needed
Enjoyable meeting with John Horner this week, who’s officially taking over the reins as Chamber Director. Great move forward. John has a passion for the community, the connections, the ability to listen and perform and has business fingers in pie far beyond the quaint and interesting shop, Thinker Toys. The toy shop is kind of like John, really, a pleasant place bent on customer service with an upbeat personality and an inventory geared to success. I also like his ideas on furthering business programs aimed at youth to expand views of the real world and business opportunities.

$5 million for land purchase just a smokescreen to open up development in SE Quad
A no-shorts vacation to a lovely state
There are lots of sayings having to do with brain power. Sayings like, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” – false – and “You’re never too old to learn something new,” – true.
Even small amount of antifreeze deadly to pets
Q: Our dog, Rex, has been feeling kinda puny lately. He isn't eating and seems really tired. My friend was over yesterday day and drained his car radiator. Rex licked up some of this fluid. He seemed to like it. Now my brother told me that radiator water is poisonous to dogs. Is that true? What should I do?
Garlic and friendship: A perfect combination
You’ll find me at the Garlic Festival almost every year. If I’m not meandering around with friends, I at least take a quick break from work Friday to swing by and grab a peppersteak sandwich and some garlic bread.
