It's Our Turn: Nothing embarrassing about this media 
I’m going to make a confession.
During the earlier years of my career as a journalist, there were times I was embarrassed to be “part of the media.”

Column - King's 'Dream' speech still induces shivers
Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech still has the power to send shivers up and down my spine.
I will never forget the time I heard that speech, broadcast live on TV on an August afternoon in 1963 in my St. Cloud living room. It was such a moving masterpiece of oratory that it took my mind off its hinges.

I'm Just Sayin' - We are in T-R-O-U-B-L-E and where's the sacrifice?
No, this is not an expose on the 1992 country music hit, T-R-O-U-B-L-E, by Travis Tritt, although it is one of my favorite songs of all time because it brings back a lot of memories from my younger days; memories of too much time spent in places I should not have been.

It's Our Turn: Fall victim to your nose
There are certain smells I wish could be bottled, although they probably wouldn’t smell the same. I adore the smell of a horse’s muzzle and there’s really nothing that can beat the smell of puppy breath for me.
Smelling something or remembering a certain scent will flood my mind with thoughts of so many things.

Column - Find it in the phone book? Good luck!
If I were a dictator, my first decree would be this: All people MUST have their phone numbers listed in phone books. But since I'm not a dictator, I have to slog along like everybody else, unable to contact people because I don't know how to reach them.

It's Our Turn: 2012 elections: Time for change – get excited
I should have known when I sealed my “I VOTED” sticker inside the return envelope that something was going to be amiss.
Now, I don’t profess to be a political guru, nor do I even claim to be well versed in the inner-workings of government. But I do have an earnest interest in helping shape the future of our fractured system.
