I walked into the bathroom, the other day at the high school in my school district in Port Jervis, New York. There were a bunch of teenage boys in there. Typically when there’s a group of boys in there, you right away go to something bad is happening. Are the kids smoking? Vaping? Using illegal…
We have a wood-burning stove in our living room that produces an incredible amount of heat for the house. It’s wonderful! During the winter months, we all enjoy the warmth and the beauty of the fire burning. Many people just see the wood stacked on the front porch. The stack that’s ready to get…

I had a medical procedure recently and was told I had to stay home, rest, and not do anything. It is rare for me to be in that state since I’m always on the go, but I tried to embrace it. While on the couch, I thought I would watch one or two of the…
