Zeus: Again. It has happened again. Heavenly Whiskers: You had too much catnip last night? Zeus: Haha. Very funny. The two little dogs, Ryder and Zooma, have already found their forever homes.

I fell into local journalism. I am the accidental journalist. Why? I was filling a void at local city council meetings. No one was digging into what was really going on with companies doing business with the city or who was being appointed to various committees and commissions. Only surface information was being reported and…
With all the hullabaloo about healthcare from politicians recently, I thought it was time to dust off my typewriter.
