In my head, I have two pictures of myself. One of the person I am, and one of the person I want to be. And more likely than not, when I make a decision, I am doing so based on the person I want to be. If I didn't do that you wouldn't be reading this right now. So, many months ago, I started ...
On Nov. 16, 1974, John Sheda and Deborah Veit were married at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Chelsea. As true in most Chelsea weddings, there was a dance later that evening at the ZBCJ Hall with a good old Polka band playing their hearts out to a town filled with Boheme's. In Chelsea, very ...
Living a double life is something I have become very good at. That statement may come off a bit promiscuous but I promise, a negative connotation isn’t the intent. Being a college student, correspondent, and lawn care technician comes at a price, that price is constant motion. Moving around ...
Throughout my life, I wouldn't describe myself as a “mommas boy”. Quite frankly we have always butted heads a little more than we needed too. Oh she’s going to hate that I’m writing this but I’ll do it anyway. Over my five day thanksgiving break this year things looked a little bit ...

Oftentimes I see buzz and chatter online about our towns. More often than that, I look around and wonder some of the same things myself. If anyone wants to answer these questions about town, please be my guest; give me a call or message me online, I’m genuinely curious. 1-Why is there no ...
As you may know, I am one in which anxieties tend to grow and fester. And I have a story, which I believe justifies my said anxieties. What you're about to read is a story that has come to be known as The Baby Food Incident. Okay, so we have a friend of the family, a couple. And this couple ...
"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens; bright copper kettles & warm woolen mittens...." Yep, just like Julie Andrews, Here are a few of my favorite things. The dollar menu at any fast food place. Bumper cars at Adventureland. Love bumping into the other guy. Popcorn. Any ...
Well, I have had a week. And in this week I have learned that I stay calm and in charge during an emergency — as long as I am the one having said emergency. Let's go back to last Wednesday, 9 p.m. I start to itch. My eyes start to itch, my forehead, my arms, my neck, my back, everything. I ...
