Your Active Life Column: Medicare Q &A
The best way to make any decision is education first. Whether it's buying a new car, deciding what breed of dog you want as a pet, or what kinds of flowers to plant, understanding those choices can make each decision easier. Options for health care coverage are no different. When it comes to Medicare and all of it's parts, educating oneself is a top priority.
Ozark Daze: Spurring 'Clayton' memories - Part 1
I reviewed that old story and memories of that night and of the stories we heard that night came alive. The people that had assembled were truly historical representatives as truly being dam pioneers. As the night grew longer, the stories grew and through the wonder of imbibing, they sometime differed but did give a word picture of what was that grew to what is in that year, 1983. Some of it is worth sharing.
Column: What ever happened to good television
They say everything operates in cycles, like that old saying “everything old is new again.” I’m trying real hard to believe that is true and that what passes for television today, will gradually fade into oblivion and the viewing public will begin once again demanding shows that truly do entertain.

Column: Hunters and Poachers are not the same
If someone is breaking the law, and killing animals out of season, or they are not following limits or regulations, then they are not hunters. They are poachers.
Column: Recent snowfalls don't measure up
There was some talk at work the other day about the coming winter and how we all hoped it wasn’t as bad as last year. And, although last winter here in the Ozarks was certainly one for the books and I basically hated every minute of snow and cold, it still didn’t measure up to my memories of the snowfalls we experienced in my childhood.

Today, Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2011, is a special day for me for two reasons. Tonight my kids and grandkids will descend on the Lake Area so we can begin our annual Thanksgiving celebration together.

Column: My experience with military aircraft
This past weekend I was at the B25 Fly-in at the Camdenton Airport to take pictures for today’s Community Snapshot section. Unfortunately I had problems with my camera and the photos of the B25 didn’t turn out, but watching the excitement of the crowd when the vintage aircraft took off and landed reminded me of my own experiences with military aircraft.

There’s a line in an old John Denver song that goes “Hey it’s good to be back home again, sometimes this old farm seems like a long lost friend.”

I was speaking with someone this past week, who shall remain nameless, but who spoke in clichés and that conservation reminded me of great aunt of mine who also had the habit of speaking in clichés.
