We candidly discuss the experiences of growing up in small-town Columbia City, the high and lows and the delights and frustrations of writing columns and books, my love of animals and movies and fun, the importance of always keeping an open mind, and many more wide-ranging topics. Enjoy!

Ginger Haycox: “LOL! I can sooo relate! Seven years old & no more meat for me. Loved salads & my grandfather said my mother had turned me into a rabbit…loved pasta…any pasta – loved cream of mushroom soup & veggie soup of course. I would sit in the middle of our vegetable garden in the summer & eat my way to the kitchen door & then not have enough room to eat dinner. Dinner that had meat…blech! my pets were everywhere I was & I could not look into their faces & then sit at the table & eat a distant cousin…just not in my makeup. My oldest brother hunts & fishes…you wonder about Thanksgiving get-togethers?”

on another note …

Texas Gov. Perry says indictment is abuse of power??

I know this, Governor…you perpetrated a grammatical error here: “The details of my decision-making were very clear. I said early on that I was going to clearly veto those dollars as long as they had someone in that office who I had lost confidence in,” Perry said. “And I had lost confidence.” Two errors…you ended a sentence with a preposition AND “WHOM” is not only the objective form of “WHO” but also the object of the preposition with which you completed the sentence? Speaking of “sentences”! Content B-/Mechanics C-!

(Note within margin: Beginning a sentence with a conjunction — In your case, “And” — is now all the rage in “journalistic” circles…so you are forgiven for the sentence fragment fad/trend which only serves to make you “cool” and “with it”! Might get you some votes with the “hipper” conservatives!)
