I’m back on the weight-loss track. When I weighed in on June 8, I learned I had gained about 6 pounds from the last time I had stepped on a scale. Yikes!

Indeed.

The great and wise Northern Spotted Owl says:

Really, I'm done on this issue.  The city's been beat up enough over it.  Besides, I think the voters are going to straighten out the mess come November...

 My mother, who I have mostly trained not to send me forwards of any kind, sent me this YouTube video. I shows a highly-automated and very nifty VolksWagen factory.

I am back on track with my workouts with personal trainer Trevor Tieche of Bodi N Balance in Port Clinton.

It's past that time of year again, and when I say "past" I mean I should have been letting you know about this a couple weeks ago.

The annual 4th of July photo contest is just around the corner. If I have to tell you when it is, check the previous sentence.

The idea that America is post-racial because Barack Obama was voted into the White House is pretty absurd.

I haven't been feeling well lately, hence the lack of blogging, but I must interrupt the silence with this very important news bulletin:

I will be working with The University Memory & Aging Center of Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Case Medical Center in their study to learn how to best help family members increase their knowledge and skills related to the caregiving of persons with Alzheimer’s Disease

I'm not sure how many Sandusky Register readers pay attention to what's happening in Cuyahoga County, but there's been a huge scandal in the county government for months, with numerous stories in the Cleveland Plain Dealer about an FBI investigation and obvious waste of taxpayer dollars.

I had a very good week in the exercise area. I had two very good workouts with my personal trainer Trevor Tieche of Bodi N Balance in Port Clinton and did a third he wrote up for me.

Intense, focused, motivating force. My personal trainer Ken Cutcher of Anytime Fitness in Perkins Township is all of those things. I can get pretty whiny and he just blows it off. I love that about him.

What a week.

First, Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina disappears. His wife tells the AP he just needed to get away from the kids — on Father's Day — so he could write in quiet.

When you stop and think about it, we do a lot of stuff. Matt Westerhold likes to point out that we put out a full-length book every day. And that's just the printed newspaper!

You know you did a double take when you walked by the newstand and saw the bikini-clad babe above the fold...

The SR doesn't give a hoot!  And that's probably why they ran another photo of the bikini babe after the contest was over to tell everybody that she didn't win!
