Today's Opinions

Dear editor,
As a retired teacher, I can understand the frustration and disappointment that the faculty, administration and students are experiencing due to the delay moving into their new school.
However, I am disappointed when reading the reports, that the words “winter break” are used instead of “Christmas break.”

The Lebanon Baptist Church put on a very elaborate and thought-provoking interactive performance, where small groups are led through the last day of four people’s lives in a series of short scenes. You go from this side of life to what lies beyond when these folks meet God and, possibly, the devil.

I went through one of the final performances of the year last weekend. The last time they held this event, some 2,400 folks went on this excursion into the next world.

The driver cut in front of me, honking his horn while sticking his middle finger out his car window, pointing it in my direction.

“What’s he so mad about?” I remember asking myself.

I had apparently failed to move fast enough when the light for the right-turn lane signaled green.

That wasn’t the first time someone had so visibly disapproved of my driving.  I admit I’m not NASCAR driving material. I once had a friend tell me that driving with me was like being a passenger with Mr. Magoo at the wheel.
