I don’t really have a desire to carry a cam...
I need to begin by giving some kudos to the Lena-Winslow senior class. Apparently, they took my column about senior pranks to heart and pulled off a good one - listing the nice truck owned by Principal Mark Kuehl on the Facebook Marketplace. From what I heard, he was inundated with phone calls from people looking to buy it. And fortunately, he took it in stride - seeing it for what it was, and laughing it off - some might have gone overboard and gotten mad. But the way I see it, it only shows...
I don't think we've ever had to suffer through a Spring season that was as uncooperative – in terms of weather – as this year. Whether it was the constant rain, the cold, or now the sudden heat wave – life on the ball diamonds has been miserable. Congratulations go out to the Warren/Stockton Warhawks, Lena-Winslow Panthers and Eastland Cougars in baseball, along with the East Dubuque Warriors, Pearl City Wolves and Forreston Cardinals in softball for winning their respective conference title...

High School is like a free trial education. Then, once you’ve graduated, they say, “Now, if you want to continue, pay $50,000.” At my sister’s high school graduation, one kid threw his cap in the air too early. My dad turned to me and said, “Oops, Premature Ecapulation …” I’m pretty sure he’s still laughing at himself to this day. High School Graduation – Where finishing one of the easiest and most basic parts of life is suddenly a huge deal. Congratulations on your graduation … now get your butt to work. My parents sent me through law school...
