        Had a good weekend. Went to a Vacaville teachers mixer on Friday. Always good to hear how things are going "in the trenches."

        Checked out the Take Charge of Your Future event at Ulatis Cultural Center on Saturday. There were dozens of business people there, from health care

        I was seven-years-old and scared when I first laid eyes on Vacaville. It was 1967, my father had accepted a new job, and he moved our family -- mom, my six brothers and sisters and me -- to strange and exotic California. Of course a move across country is a frightening time for any child, and I re

        A strange thing happened while I was driving yesterday from Fairfield to Dixon: I noticed that my neck wasn't hurting. I was lightly holding the wheel instead of using my usual deathgrip. I was actually looking directly ahead and not at the pavement right in front of my car.

      • Monte Vista Avenue and Dobbins Street Is A Mess
        06/11/08
        But then I didn't have to tell you that. Each morning at 5:00 a.m. I go through that intersection on my way to my radio job downtown. Or rather, STOP at that intersection. And wait ... And wait ... Due to the new construction, the sensors at the traffic signals have been turned off and swi

      • The Storm of 2008
        01/08/08
        It wasn't as bad as the New Year's storm a few years back, but it was still pretty darned inconvenient.

        I went in to work Friday morning as usual, only to find that the power at the office was out. My co-workers were in a partying mood -- who wouldn't be happy to get out
