4-22-26 From the reaction to my questioning the actions of one Donald J. Trump last week, I may well be back down to three or four readers. Some folks were pretty ticked off that a lowly vagabond newspaperman would dare question the Don. What is it about this guy that inflames us so much? By…

Inching Closer to 70 . . . Never been a glass half full kind of guy. No, I don’t consider myself a pessimist – just a realist. My lovely wife and I used to play euchre with her parents. My mother-in-law, God rest her soul, was famous for sighing, I’m probably going to get euchred…

Did you know this week is dedicated to celebrating public schools? Well, if anything ever deserved a tip of the seed corn cap . . . this sure fits the bill. In addition to that, my alma mater (Go Millers!) has a thing going on, Why I Love Noblesville Schools. So guess what I’m writing…

BY THE NUMBERS By The Numbers, a look at what’s in the news . . . by the numbers. These are just numbers, not suggestions that they mean more or less than what they are. We do not suggest that one number is connected to another. These are simply facts with no extraneous details, bias…

Valentine’s Shopping, Bubba and ‘Tudes Do you have a Valentine’s Day present yet? I admit I’m a procrastinator and with the clock ticking, I was starting to sweat. So as much as I hate online shopping, I was sitting at my desk surfing some websites that my wife likes. What? Yes, I was at work…

It’s back.

But nooooooo. The hired hands in Indianapolis are back with a vengeance, hell-bent on taking public notices out…

I could live with the arrogance of our president who’s not shy about saying anything he touches is perfect and the best ever. I could care less if he’s a scratch golfer or cheats his head off. I’m actually more than fine with arresting Nicolas Maduro, the drug dealer masquerading as a politician. I was…

It’s certainly an interesting time to be a football fan in Indiana. Is there a neater story than Curt Cignetti and the IU Hoo-Hoo–Hoosiers? How about all the controversy surrounding Notre Dame’s exclusion from the College Football Playoffs? (And thank you to those who responded to my recent scribblings on a proposed change to the…

As some of the eight or nine (sorry, I have been told there might be 10 or 12 or maybe even 17 of you reading my scribbles – I just can’t wrap my head around those numbers) of you may know, my newspaper world began in the toy department. It was a long time ago…

Noblesville boys basketball fans, especially those not identified as Baby Boomers, might not recall the terrible state of Noblesville High School basketball before Dave Nicholson showed up for the 1975-76 season. The Millers had been so bad that legendary sports scribe Don Jellison wrote a damning column with the headline: Basketball Stone Dead in Nob…
