I had a very interesting conversation the other day.I was trying to get the newspaper to the post office, and one of our readers stopped by the office. Don’t get me wrong, I love when you guys stop by and say hello. Feedback is always appreciated.This interaction was not feedback though.

I have the greatest job in the world
Rick Holtz
I have to say that I have the greatest job in the world. No, not as a newspaper owner (don’t get me wrong, I love what I do), but I am talking about being a dad.As a dad, I get to mold my four — soon to be five — kids to be productive members of society.

It’s hard to be tolerant of all the intolerance
Rick Holtz
The world is changing . . . and not for the better.My kids recently found some of my old yearbooks from when I was in school. They enjoyed thumbing through the books and trying to find me.I’ll admit, it brings back good memories.

I’ll never get those hours back
Rick Holtz
Last weekend I spent more than two hours trying to beat a hard level I found on Super Mario Maker 2.Normally I would not have the patience to stay with a level for such a long period of time.

An open letter to the Class of 2024

I’ve been checking the mailbox every day for the last month. My invitation to speak at graduation probably got lost in the mail. But, never fear.

Storms can be scary, but they don’t last forever
Rick Holtz
Everyone is scared of something. It is perfectly normal.People are scared by different things. The fear does not have to make sense.Some people are scared of getting sick, and if they read about a disease, they will be convinced they have it.Personally, I am not fond of clowns.

War is brewing in the Holtz house
Rick Holtz
There is a war brewing in my house. You can just feel it in the air. If we had pets, I’m pretty sure they would be acting strangely.This war is not a long-standing family feud.
