Here’s what the President is doing today.  After laying a wreath and talking with some military families, he hit the golf course for the 70th time of his two-and-a-half year stay in the White House.  According to news reports, he has golfed the last nine weekends in a row, while two wars and whatever we’re calling Libya, are raging.

What’s on your schedule or your mind?

Go ahead and use this spot for any topic you want to bring up.  Here’s my current question:   In a letter to the editor today in the Press, Councilman Mike Kennedy said, in regard to a public vote on the McEuen plan,“…the easiest thing to have done, politically, would have been to simply oppose the project and call for a public vote.  But it was clear to me that would have been a fruitless approach…” Why would it have been fruitless, Mike?  He never says.  Also, two days ago, over on a Spokane blog, Olivera said this:  (more…)

Congrats to new CdA School Board members, Terri Seymore and Tom Hamilton!  They did a great job of getting their message out, and the many people who worked on their campaigns made the difference.

There were other races too.  Any thoughts, comments, congrats?

Have you called your Mother yet?  I’ve been talking with mine via the heaven-network.

Any good Mom stories?  Any other issues on your mind?

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Forum on urban renewal last night.  The attendance was excellent and the CdA Inn was gracious about adding more tables.  Big crowd and fun evening.

Today’s weather seems like Winter’s fighting to hold on, but moments of Spring are breaking through…I hope Spring wins!  Lots of important international news, a whole plate of local issues, and of course, basketball…go Zags…, what’s on your mind this weekend?

There were two Letters to the Editor this morning about problems at the Kroc Center.  Did you read them?  Two upset patrons of last weekend’s swim meet at the Kroc were venting their frustration at the severe restrictions and policies of the center, and what they claim was a dismal lack of customer service.  You can read their letters here and here.  Any thoughts or comments on this or any other topic?

With so many hot issues burning through town (puns intended),  here’s a place to vent your frustrations.  What local, or even national, things make you feel like your hair is on fire?

Happy Valentine’s Day!  This is the heart sculpture that’s in front of the CdA Chamber building.  It was sponsored by the downtown Rotary Club, and is a popular photo spot for visitors to our city.

I *heart* CdA because of the incredible, smart, hard working real people who live in our beautiful community.  Thank you to all who read this blog, to my cohorts Bill and Dan who work with me on this site, and to everyone who has the courage to stand for their convictions.  Cheers to you all on this day of appreciation!

There’s a lot going on right now…what are your thoughts?  Do you think most people want to change Tubbs Hill?

Sunshine, football, all the local goings on… do you have any issues on your mind?  Thoughts, questions, ideas?
