Vox reporter Anna North recently found my blog post about setting up a landline phone for kids and decided to learn more.

I lost some momentum writing about our trip to Japan after the first two posts when life and work got busy, but appreciate those of you who diplomatically asked if there was more coming.

I'm sharing highlights and photos from my first trip to Japan.

I went in to my first trip to Japan with a few concerns: would I stand out as an obnoxious, clueless American tourist?

Earlier this year I launched a blog to share some short, informal reflections about my life in local news and newspaper publishing.

It's been about four months since I became owner and publisher of my community's local print newspaper.

I’m excited to share the news that I’m diving fully into the world of community newspaper publishing.

This week I'm turning forty-five years old.

This month, July of 2022, I completed the master's degree in journalism program that I started in 2019 at Ball State University.

As we start the new year, a big question on my mind is: what will become of our relationships with people we don't know, people who aren't like us?
