Daily Grind: January 2009
http://panewsgrind.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Couple in “Baby Grace” trial makes me sick. I’ve been captivated by the trail of Kimberly Dawn Trenor, the mother of the little girl dubbed Baby Grace. Since our country has laws stating we are innocent until proven guilty, I’ll lay off my deep personal feelings about Trenor and her husband, Royce Clyde Zeigler II. Two-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers was tortured to death, her body stuffed inside a plastic container and stored in a shed before she was dumped in Galveston Bay.

I was walking past the Hampton Inn a week after Hurricane Ike and found a tent with a whole lotta cookin’ goin’ on. He hasn’t put his spoons down yet.

Daily Grind: December 2008
http://panewsgrind.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. So, tonight is New Year's Eve. Where I grew up, in Michigan, I'd never even dreamed that New Year's was a time to go and buy fireworks. And even if I had fireworks, I'd never dream of going outside and popping them when the clock struck midnight. It's cold up there. So, when I moved down to Texas and saw that warmer climates had two fireworks seasons instead of one, I was a little intrigued at the novelty. Now it just seems like old hat. Um Well, then where should we go?

Daily Grind: My backyard looks like "Life Without People"
http://panewsgrind.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-backyard-looks-like-life-without.html
Saturday, August 1, 2009. My backyard looks like "Life Without People". Thanks to the recent rains and my lack of motivation to cut the grass my yard resembles something out of the History Channel show "Life Without People.". If you're not familiar with the show, it chronicles what the earth would be like after humans are gone. Buildings crumble, bridges fall and trees and foliage take back over their turf. No way. This was my project and I was not going to be beat by some weeds and grass. As I inched my...

Daily Grind: April 2009
http://panewsgrind.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Video killed the radio star — so what about newspapers. Video killed the radio star. It wasn't especially good but it had a message that can be seen today. The song is the first video shown on the debut of MTV in 1981 and celebrates the golden age of radio. Ironically the music video paved the way for a big change in the way people listened to their music. Here's another remember when for you; waiting on the newspaper to arrive, flipping to your favorite section and reading.

Daily Grind: Battle of the dressings
http://panewsgrind.blogspot.com/2009/11/battle-of-dressings.html
Thursday, November 26, 2009. Battle of the dressings. As Thanksgiving Day drew near our office talk turned to food. 8220;What’s your favorite Thanksgiving Day food? 8221; was the question posed to staffers. We soon had a winner — dressing. Then I posed an innocent question — “what kind of dressing, rice or cornbread? I’m still shocked by the response — “rice? It seems I was in the minority that serves rice dressing, or dirty rice as I call it. Dirty rice has become an easy dish to make, thank God. My dad...

Daily Grind: March 2009
http://panewsgrind.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Ya know, sometimes people work hard behind the scenes. Their work is important, probably as important as the ones in the limelight. Being behind the scenes doesn’t allow for a lot of recognition. And sometimes the “behind the scenes” person gets thought of as a slacker. Merriam-Webster defines “underappreciated” as “not duly appreciated,” and “appreciate” as “to grasp the nature, worth, quality, or significance of.”. Then comes my favorite quote of the story: “None of the...

Daily Grind: December 2009

Wednesday, December 23, 2009. The tree stands alone. I am a procrastinator. I wait until the last possible moment to do things then get caught up in the stress of “why did I wait until the last minute to do this? I like to consider myself as deadline driven (which sounds so much nicer) so when I was at a retail store recently and saw a sign announcing that Christmas was just a few weeks away I realized I needed to put up the tree. You see, the tree and I do not get along. I ended up sitting in my mother'...
