Personal pride went right out the window as I covered last Thursday's John McCain rally. Maybe "out the window" isn't the best way to put it, "over my head" is probably a better description.

If you are a frequent visitor to downtown Sandusky you may take in the sights of the fall color, the floral mounds, the floral clock and the gazebo.

We recently did a story on the Erie County Senior Center in downtown Sandusky and I had the opportunity to meet Iola Palmerson. Iola is the ping-pong champion of her age group in Erie County.

Sometimes my job as a photojournalist can take me to some crazy places. I've had my head out the top of the Tin Goose while taking photos, numerous rides at Cedar Point on Media Day and even the control booth inside the Sandusky Coal Docks.

Mills Creek Golf Course hosted the Michelle Keegan Memorial Golf Outing Saturday. Michelle Keegan, 36, died almost two months ago after a sudden illness. She was a 1990 graduate of Sandusky High School with her twin sister Dana.

For my son's birthday we bought him a step stool with a “Cars” theme.
We have two boys and at the time, only one stool.
You can guess how well that went over.

As Indians fans gear up for the team’s first home series of the season, it’s time to spare a couple of thoughts for the game’s least appreciated and most unloved participants — the umpires.

The glory days of Sandusky’s Paper District are mostly gone.

In its heyday, though, the paper district didn’t just employ many Sandusky residents. It could even produce poetry.

On Saturday, I went with five other Sandusky Register journalists to a Society of Professional Journalists conference in Columbus. It was our day off. The paper covered our registration fees, but we covered our own food, lodging, bar tab, etc.

I promised you updates on the eagles that set up their nest at the Old Dutch Tavern in Perkins Township and one was provided to me without me stepping foot over in that n

It is a truism that people overestimate what can happen in two years and underestimate what can happen in five. When you think about the web, it's really remarkable what's happened to it in the last five years. Facebook was a month old in March of 2004.

Maybe I'm easily influenced by what people say, and it seems ironic that I want to write this blog about the brother-in-law of the man who is suing me. But one man is not another, and the actions of one should not influence my thoughts of the other.

I had a touching experience recently. I received a call from the HVAC professor at Terra Technical College.

In case you haven't heard, Orlando Pace is now with the Chicago Bears. I really like the move as I was a big Bears fan in the 1980's. I think everyone was with Walter Payton, the Fridge, Jim McMahon and the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the live chat tonight.  I'm a little disappointed at the number of lurking vs.

Chocolate bunnies, peanut butter eggs, marshmallow eggs, malted milk balls; Easter is a food addict’s heaven, let me tell ya. Myself, being the carbohydrate junkie I am, I indulged in a few chocolate treats this week. I also had a small piece of Samantha and Sheppard's birthday cake.

This week (April 6-April 12) was the best week in awhile.
I had two good workouts with my personal trainer Trevor Tieche of Bodi N Balance, as well as a weight workout and a cardio workout on my own.

Haven’t done one of these in a while. Let’s catch up on some noteworthy music:

We still have to make sure this liveblogging software is compatible with the SR site, so if the live chat doesn't show up here - check back at the old site until we work out the bugs. 

I think it'll work though.
