I have watched plenty of doctor and cop shows on TV in my life. (I'm a couch potato at heart.) I have learned through the years that people in those professions are basically on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What I never knew was that this is the same mentality that a newsman has. Or maybe more to the point, my newsman, otherwise known as my husband, Bobby, has. He ended up at a meth lab bust Friday night. I can't tell you how many times we have had to postpone our plans because … [Read more...]
In a Word, Rox Gastropub in Wooster Rocks
My wife, Wendi, and I love to watch Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives" and Michael Symon's "Burgers, Brews & 'Cue" on the Food Network. It was while watching one of these shows where we learned of the term "gastropub," which generally refers to a pub that serves quality food. The owners of Broken Rocks Cafe & Bakery brought that style of eatery and pub to Wooster, and we are better for it. Wendi and I decided to try out the Rox Gastropub with her sister, Randi Breese, and … [Read more...]
Viva Las Vegas: Wooster Style
Gambling isn't my thing. I'm too much of a chicken that I'll lose my life savings (which ain't much), if I start. However, for as a fund raiser, where any money I give the "bank" goes to a good cause, I will participate. I'll even ask my sister and brother-in-law, Randi and Shaun to join me. This was the case on Saturday, February 27, 2016. The Village Network, the organization with which I am employed, held the Second Annual Casino night at the Best Western in downtown Wooster. We had … [Read more...]
Crossed Off Bucket List: Go to Prom
I didn't get a chance to go to my prom in high school. The main reason is that no one asked me. High school was definitely not a time that I treasured, but I do regret not getting to go to prom. I told my husband, Bobby, about this years ago. Unbeknownst to me, Bobby filed this information in the back of his mind. He wanted to be the one to take me to a prom. Although it never worked out where there was an adult prom that we could go to, that changed on Saturday, February 22, 2016. The … [Read more...]
White Christmas: A New Tradition?
My husband, Bobby, is amazing. He always thinks of doing things I enjoy. Tonight, December 19, was no exception. We went to see Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" at the Lion's Lincoln Theatre in Massillon, Ohio. I'm a huge fan of this movie. I love to watch it every Christmas. But I have never seen it o the big screen. It was incredible! When you watch a movie in a theater it is this group experience. If it is a movie that you love and those around you seem to love it, too, it is really … [Read more...]
