This winter, I found myself glued to my computer screen one Saturday evening. “What are you watching?” my confused roommate asked. “It’s a show choir competition. Kenton is competing soon,” I replied without shifting my gaze from the screen. As my roommate resumed whatever he was doing (and probably certifying…
I think I’ve told it enough that we all know about my first meeting on the campaign trail. Since then, I had gone from “Youth Campaign Coordinator” with my good buddy Chase Fleece, to Media Coordinator, to Transition Committee Vice-Chair. Around 2:15 on Monday, I dropped that last title. I…
There is absolutely nothing like small-town life. Small-town life at Christmas time is truly one-of-a-kind. Hardin County Courthouse Some call it gorgeous. I call it one of the most remarkable sights you’ll see. Dan Robinson reports in the Kenton Times that John Jester Times thate display. The current display (which…

It was a crappy and snowy January day. Still energized by the rollercoaster-election of President Trump, my partner in politics Chase W. Fleece and I had an invitation from this guy named Jon Cross. Dressed in our black suits and ties, we saddled up my old S10 and pointed it toward Mount…
It’s a pretty well-known fact. I’m a geek. I don’t sports. In my first years of high school, I failed to see the value in organized athletics. The programs that I involved myself in resided in the shadow left behind by the famed Kenton Atheltic Department. While I attended the…
The Fault in Our Stars is a modern-day Shakespearean tragedy. It’s a terribly depressing read, but such a great one all at the same time. These quotes won’t make a lot of sense without that context. Highly recommend the novel by John Green. “That’s the thing about pain. It demands to be…
